ATLANTA — Lawmakers across the country and across the state of Georgia are honoring the late Zell Miller.
The former governor and senator died Friday morning. He had Parkinson’s disease.
In an already-scheduled visit to Atlanta, Vice President Mike Pence honored Miller, calling him a leader of great character and great integrity who dedicated his life to public service.
Miller's body will lie in state at the State Capitol next week.
President Jimmy Carter released a statement saying Miller “was a good friend and Rosalynn and I join all Georgians in extending our condolences to (his) family.”
