U.S. Rep. Doug Collins made two stops Friday in northeast Georgia as part of his district workweek. One of those stops was to tour Eaton Corp. in Stephens County, a
plant where plumbing equipment for the aerospace industry is made. Eaton plant manager Bill Hayford said he appreciated the opportunity
to show Collins and the other officials on hand the quality of work done
by the approximately 150 employees at the facility. “I wanted him to see the pride and the engagement that the employees
here in Stephens County and the north Georgia area have in what they do
here at the Eaton Aerospace plant,” Hayford said. “They are very proud
of what they do, and we are proud of them because they do a great job
here.” Collins was very impressed with the Eaton plant and added that the pride the employees there take in their work is evident. "You come to plants like this, and it is what I believe in,” Collins
said. “It is what I believe government ought to look for — people who
get up every day and they take pride in their work, and they enjoy
telling people about it. When I come to plants like this, it just shows and that gives me a boost
to go back into the Washington mix and say that people are depending on
you (Congress).”Before his tour of the Eaton plant, Collins spent time Friday morning meeting constituents at the Java Station Coffee Shop on Big A Road in Toccoa. Collins said the main concern he heard about there related to government spending.
