Golden Sleaze recipient is possible DOT board candidate?

Those being mentioned as possible successors to Evans include Chris Riley, chief of staff to U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal, R-Gainesville, and state Sen. Eugene “Chip” Pearson of Dawsonville. Pearson has reportedly told legislative leaders that he would not seek re-election to his Senate seat this year.
Pearson, as you may recall, was one of this year’s distinguished recipients of a Golden Sleaze award. He got the nod for blocking Jekyll Island legislation, pushing a bill that would exempt the DOT from forcing contractors to pay soil erosion fines, and other pieces of past legislation that would’ve placed the environment at risk.

For a second I thought you were going to say Steve Davis. Now that would have been funny.
