For the past 7 weeks, | have enjoyed the privilege of
talking to many, many citizens of Chattooga County as |
campaigned for the office of Sheriff. | was blessed with
friends and family members whose tireless work and
steadfast dedication helped to make this effort such a suc

to campaign in or near their places of business. | feel
that this attests to the concern of the business community
for our county. As | take office on March 7, | carry with me
the concerns | have heard expressed during the course of
this campaign, and | am ready and eager to accept the
responsibility you have given me. | will do my best to serve
you well.

State Court Pay Increase Gets OK
By BUDDY ROBERTS
Associate News Editor
The Georgia Senate has ap
proved local legislation
authorizing a pa{ increase and
new pay scale for Chattooga
Counx s State Court judge
and solicitor. The measure was
signed by Sen. Waymond
“Sonny” Huggins and approv
ed after previous passage in
the House of Representatives.
The bill was proposed in the
House by Rep. Tim Perry to
establish the salaries of the
state court officers as equal to
35 percent of that of a Superior
Court judge. Judge Carlton
Vines ants Solicitor Albert
Palmour had originally re
quested a 50-percent scale.
Huggins signed the bill
when it was sent to the Senate.
Once local legislation has pass
ed in the House and signed by
the Senator concerned, floor
approval is a formality, he said.
Several items of local legisla
tion are routinely approved at
once.
Solons Split On School
Superintendent Vote
By BUDDY ROBERTS
Associate News Editor
Fifth District Rep. Tim
Perry voted against a constitu
tional amendment to switch to
appointed school
superintendents and elected
boards of education in every
Georgia school district. The
measure passed the House of
Representatives, 141-29.
Sen. Waymond ‘‘Sonny”’
Huggins of the 53rd District
saig the measure had not come
to the Senate floor early this
week, but indicated he would
vote for the House resolution.
“Local citizens ought to
have the chance to decide what
they want,” Perry said in op
position to the measure pro%os
ed by Gov. Zell Miller. ‘“They
should have say-so as to what
Ehey want in their communi
y.
Huggins said he would vote
for a statewide referendum on
the matter, but is undecided
about his personal opinion. The
senator resides in LaFayette,
where superintendents are ap
pointed. “I'll have to wait and
see how the individual counties
feel about it.” He said he
believes that either the
superintendent or the school
board should be elected.
In a similar matter, Perry
voted for Gov. Miller's con
stitutional amendment to ap
point members of the Georgia
Public Service Commission,
and Huggins said he ‘‘probably
will” vote for the measure in
the Senate.
“I'm willing for the people
to vote on it,"”" he said. ‘ln that
respect, the people would make
the decision.”
Perry said that the PSC has
encountered problems, such as
the obscurity of the panel and
its inability to elect a chairman.
“It effects the citizens of this
state, and the system now is
just not working well. It's a
statewide issue...l really
didn't like it, but I did vote for
e
If approved by the Senate,
the measures will be the sub
ject of public vote in 1992.
In other matters, Huggins
and Perry supported proposals
to toughen Geordgia’s laws for
those convicted of driving
under the influence (DU]) of in
toxicants. Perry voted for
measures to lower the blood
alcohol concentration from .12
to .10, with .08 as the level for
presumed intoxication; an im-

REFERENDUM
Another local measure

five-member board of commis
sioners for Chattooga was to

House on Tuesday, Perry said.
The bill would like¥y pass today
or Friday.
Hugginsindicated he would
siFn the measure in the Senate.
*“I will sign it for the people to
vote on it,’’ he said. “Ft's utp to
the people to make the final
decision.”
The measure is similar to
legislation pending for Dade

fenders; and a bill to prohibit
drivers from having open con

Huggins supported bills to
re?uire that second-time DUI
offenders wait for one year
before applying for license
reinstatement; detain intox
icated drivers overnight in
county jails; and permit
forfeitures of vehicles for DUI
offenders.
“I'm in favor of anything
that will stop this DUI stuff,
Huggins said.

Huggins added that the
Senate’'s budget proposal in
cludes money for merit raises
for state em?lloyees. Similar
raises for teachers had already
been approved.
«] think if you're going to
give one group raises, you
should give them to others. I
don't know where they found
the money, but the (Appropria
tions) committee found it.”
A House and Senate con
ference committee will work to
consolidate both chambers’
budget proposals.
