The below open records request to TCSG is pasted in reverse order – my original ORR is on the bottom., most recent reply on top.
D.A. King,
Thank you for your patience, D.A., and for taking the time to submit your Open Records Request. Pursuant to subparagraph (b)(I)(A) of O.C.G.A. 50-18-71, we are responding in a reasonable timeframe. You have requested copies of SAVE affidavits, applications, and Secure and Verifiable ID documents collected from specified employer participants in the apprenticeship program.
At this time, the requested records do not exist. The awarded companies were recently announced, and we are in the initial stages of the contracting process. This process includes the hiring of apprentices, submission of required documentation, and the verification of information prior to contracts to be drafted and executed.
It is anticipated that the requested records may become available by late February or early March. It would be best to submit a new request at that time to obtain the information.
Should you have any additional questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
When submitting future requests, use our ORR portal: Legal Services – TCSG | Technical College System of Georgia
Kind regards,
Leigh Keever

The below correction was published by the liberal AJC on Nov. 1, 2024 in response to our demand letter.
We are sorry to inform you that D.A. King, President and founder of the Dustin Inman Society, has left us.
Donald (“D.A.”) Arthur King, 1 April 1952 – 5 March 2025.
D.A. King left this life and his work for the nation that he loved, confident that he has done his best. D.A. passed on peacefully after a private battle with cancer.
“Once a Marine, always a Marine” – D.A. was always visibly proud of his service and his honorable discharge from the U.S. Marine Corps (1970-1976).
D.A. described himself as “pro-enforcement” on immigration and borders, an issue on which he dedicated the last 21 years of his life as an expert activist, writer and public speaker.
