Flags lowered for passing of former Rep. V. George Carey

Listen

With the passing of former State Representative V.

Representative Carey faithfully served the residents of the 36th District from 1984-2010. During his time in the legislature, he championed agriculture issues as a member of the Agriculture Committee and was key in the establishment of the Agricultural Lands Preservation Foundation.

Flags are to be returned to full staff at close of business on the day of Representative Carey’s interment, Thursday September 15th.
