By Bryan Geter
Former Troup County Fire
Chief Tim Duffey last
Thursday, announced his deci-
sion to run as candidate for the
Chairman of the Troup County
Board of Commissioners.
Duffey said the decision
came after several weeks of
earnest prayer, support from
family and friends, research
into matters concerning all
three cities and the unincorlx
rated area and planning and
guidance from a group of
Christian individuals that will
lead the campaign committee.
He said as the county's next
chairman, he will instill integri-
ty and dignity to the office and
will assume proactive roll by
encouraging his fellow com-
missioners and councils of each
city or community in which
workable solutions can be
reached that would not only
enhance the county, but save
budget costs, valuable time and
possibly the very lives of our
citizens.

sive government in a conser-

and every citizen," Duffey said.
Duffey's goal and objec-
tives are to utilize his educa-
tional background, past expe-
rience and common sense to
assist in working as a team
leader with each county com-
missioner and the county man-
agers. "By applying a conser-
vative approach to the budget-
ary process," he said, "will
yield the most feasible service
to the citizens of the entire
county."
He also will work with the
commissioners and staff in
exploring all possibilities to sta-
bilize or even lower the tax
milage rates by actively seek-
ing additional sources of rev-
enue, while providing a fair
equalization in budget dis-
bursements without loss of
valuable services.
He said he will work with
the commissioners in a pro,ac-
tive manner by meeting with
the councils of all three cities
in collecting ideas that will pos-
sibly eliminate duplication of
services while maintaining a
high quality of service to the
citizens.
