Public Services

Said, "I want to lower property taxes for the citizens of Bulloch County by decreasing the county operating budget, ending corporate welfare (tax abatements that the taxpayers subsidize) for new corporations moving into the county, and implementing impact fees within the county."

Said, "President Washington promised to serve only two terms to avoid unfair power as a government official and to avoid the formation of a monarchy in the newly founded United States.

- County Commission Chairs oversee the Board of County Commissioners, which create and pass laws at the county-level. These laws show up in very tangible ways, such as determining how much you pay property and sales tax rates, public transportation, and maintaining infrastructure.
- The County Commission Chair is specifically responsible for preparing the county budget, which must be passed by the rest of the County Commissioners. The budget determines how much funding goes to various public services, such as public transportation, law enforcement, repairing roads, and maintaining infrastructure.
- County Commission Chairs have additional executive duties including coordinating with the office of the Mayor for your county, appointing Commissioners to committees, and representing your county at official functions.
- County Commission Chairs are elected to 4-year terms in county-wide elections.
