Today, Senator John Albers (R–Roswell) joined Roswell Police Chief Jim Conroy, Mayor Kurt Wilson, members of the Labonte family, and first responders from across the community to dedicate the Officer Jeremy Labonte Memorial Interchange.

The ceremony, held at Roswell Police Department Headquarters, honored Officer Labonte’s life and service to the Roswell community. The newly named interchange will stand as a lasting reminder of his sacrifice and the gratitude of those he protected.

“Officer Labonte embodied the very best of law enforcement – courage, honor and a commitment to protecting others,” said Sen. Albers. “His legacy will live on through the Officer Jeremy Labonte Memorial Interchange as a symbol of our community’s respect for those who wear the badge. We are forever indebted to him and to his family for their sacrifice, and I’ll continue to make sure Georgia always backs the blue.”

The dedication serves as a visible reminder of Officer Labonte’s enduring impact on Roswell and the unwavering support Georgians hold for law enforcement officers and their families.

Our new fiscal year started on July 1st and Georgia recently reported another excellent year of lowering taxes, conservative budgeting, and superior fiscal responsibility.  We have a balanced budget and no deficit.  We continue to lower the income tax and send tax rebates back to our families. After all, the government has no money – it is the taxpayers! We maintained our AAA bond rating, which is one of the best in the nation and are spending the same per capita when adjusted for inflation as we did 17 years ago. We have much to be proud of in Georgia!
