After receiving every kind of support that a person would desire to offer
for re-election in the Commissioner’s race of Chattooga County, | would
like to offer my sincere thanks and appreciation for the support and vote
received in 1984, and for the continuation of that support in my term of of
fice by those who desire one that is not governed by any group or faction. In
my endeavor to accomplish the things listed below, | must state to you that
if it were not for your faithful help during the trying times | would not have
been able to have used your money and do the things that have been done,
namely:
No. 1 — Paying off one million and one half dollar debt.
No. 2 — Fire Departments - five new and support to existing departments.
No. 3 — Ambulance Service - One of Georgia’s best equipped and best per
sonnel consisting of county-owned building and five ambulances with
necessary equipment.
No. 4 — Road Project - Almost every part of Chattooga County consisting of
new paving and recapping - well over one hundred miles. 3
No. 5 — Bridge Building - New bridges and repair work on existing bridges.
No. 6 — Civil Defense - Cooperating and supporting.
No. 7 — National Guard Armory - Furnishing quarters at work camp and
also land for new National Guard Armory building.
No. 8 — Library - New roof and upkeep of this building, also labor for new
carpet, air-conditioning. .
No. 9 — Recreation - Helping as much as possible with all recreational
facilities in Chattooga County.
No. 10 — Water Additions - Cooperating with City and County in extending
water to several points in county.
No. 11 — Courthouse - Improvements to the courthouse including handicap
ramp and handrails on front porch, also handicap bathrooms and elevator
for aged and handicapped.
No. 12 — Nutrition Center - Supporting with wages and fuel for vans.
No. 13 — Voting Machines - Placed Optec vote-counting machines in every
district of the county.
I would like to state to you that Chattooga County has gigantic pro
blems to solve during 1989, regardless of whom is your Commissioner. You
need to stop and think whether or not this person is experienced and
capable of handling the problems of the Commissioner’s office in an effi
cient manner and retain as near as possible the millage rate of .01191
(County) and .000.71 (County Bond). | would like to name some of the most
important issues that must be decided in setting the millage rate.
No. 1 — The dilemma of Chattooga County Hospital.
No. 2 — Tax re-evaluation which must be required to get the homes,
buildings, mobile homes and other property that is not on the digest.
No. 3 — Garbage pick-up and disposal; also a new landfill, which is a must
in Chattooga County.
No. 4 — Renovation of the Chattooga County courtroom and other repairs
to the courthouse.
No. 5 — To be considered is an addition to the Chattooga County Health
Center, numerous pieces of equipment at the work camp that must be .
replaced to carry on the road program in Chattooga County.
N 0.6 — Several areas in Chattooga County must have attention concerning
water. A sewerage problem is now arising in the most congested areas.
These are only a few of the extras that are a must in 1989, plus the
general operation of all Chattooga County offices and other things which
come under the Commissioner’s decision. | have done my best with the
help of the voters of the county who have stood behind me to bring Chat
tooga County back to a level where it was when | left office before.
Again, let me say whether or not | be your next Commissioner, when you
go to cast your ballot, weigh these things and pick the person whom you
think will do the best job for Chattooga County.
Thank You,
CHATTOOGA COUNTY COMMISSIONER
