After 37 years representing clients under the Gold Dome, prominent lobbyist Tom Boller is retiring from Capitol Partners Public Affairs Group.

After heading Georgia Power Co.’s lobbying efforts for a decade, Boller, 64, founded the group in 1986. Since then, he represented the State Bar of Georgia and other interests. Boller, who just returned from a bicycle trip from Prague to Vienna, said he plans to spend more time with his parents and “help people I like win elections.”
