Milton announces re-election bid Morgan County 5th District Commissioner Ron Milton provided to the Lake Oconee News on Tuesday, Feb. 16, the fol lowing announcement of his campaign for reelec tion: After conferring with many citizens in my district and county, I have made the decision to seek another term as commissioner for Morgan County’s 5th District. Four years ago, I stated I would assess when the time came whether to ask voters for a second term or just serve the one term. If voters approve my serving a second term, that will be as long as I would want to serve and, I believe, as long as a commissioner should serve. I have learned a lot in these past three-plus years. In addition to completing the Ron Milton Association of County Gov ernments’ required training for certification, I have com pleted more specialty track training. But more import ant than required training is what I have learned inter acting with the residents of my district and the county. I have gotten to know many people in the county I other wise would not have had op portunity to meet. I believe the most important thing personally I can say from my serving as commissioner is that I have returned all phone calls and mail, and I have visited and looked at any county problems a citizen might be concerned with. There are many import ant things happening in our county in the next couple years that require a con certed and conservative approach as they are dealt with. Those things include budgeting and taxation. My promise if elected for a second term would be to continue to listen to the citizens of the 5th District and of all Morgan County and to represent their concerns when voting on items that come before the county commission.
