Maddox Shifts Roles as Lt Governor and Georgia Politics
Lester Maddox, now Georgia lieutenant governor, reduced staff, smaller office, and a $20,000 salary after leaving the governorship. He backs Carter's reform agenda but hints at amendments, remains a strong 1960s-era figure with a growing grassroots base and possible 1972 Senate talk. He plans a busy slate of ventures and a TV program while stressing living over office.
