Stewart Announces Riggins
For Re-Election
TO THE CITIZENS OF BRANTLEY COUNTY:
I hereby announce that I have qualified as candidate for
Office of Chairman, County Commission, Post No. 1.
During these next few weeks, you may hear many things,
good and bad, that the current Board of Commissioners
has done or that it has failed to do.
I ASK YOU TO CONSIDER:
Each year during my term in office, this Board
has set the tax levy at 12.4 mills. ( This is the same
as set by the previous Board during their last year
in office).
When I took office with this Board in January, 1969,
there was $4,924.00 in the bank and according to the
Tax Collector, more than 80 percent of the tax money
had been paid in and turned over to the previous Board.
On January 1, 1969, this County owed $91,378 in
liabilities.
The Road Department heavy equipment was virtually
worn out, many machines were 20 years old or older.
Today the County is completely out of debt and has
cash money in the bank that will hopefully see us thr
ough the end of this year.
Today this county has one new motor grader, one
new dump truck and another new truck that tows the
low bed trailer. Cash money was used to pay for this
equipment.
Only through proper management could the above had been
done. I take credit for a good part of the above as well as
for any failure of this Board.
As a taxpayer myself and the interest that I know every
taxpayer here in Brantley County has in taxes, all the above
is good. It has been many years since this county has been
in a position to begin to give the service that it should have
been doing for years but could not, due to poor management.
I hereby ask for your continued support and confidence
in the Democratic Primary Election.
