From ajc.com:
The Georgia Attorney General’s Office now has a Facebook page and is on Twitter and, in just the past month, has issued more press releases than it did all of last year.
Sam Olens, the former Cobb County Commission chairman, has presented himself repeatedly on the public stage as the state’s new top lawyer. His style is especially noticeable when comparing the Republican to his Democratic predecessor, Thurbert Baker — not for party but for personality.
Baker, who resigned to run an unsuccessful campaign for governor, rarely took questions from the media and infrequently drew attention to the AG office’s accomplishments.
For example, Baker sent out 11 press releases last year, six fewer than in 2009, according to the office’s website. Since Olens took the oath of office Jan. 10, he has posted 13.
