Fayette County
Commission Chairman Greg Dunn and Vice Chairman Linda Wells will continue
in those posts for 2002.
But Commissioner
Herb Frady cast a lone dissenting vote when commissioners made the appointments
last week, saying he doesn't like some things about the direction the
county is going in.
"We're
a little off on ... some issues," he said.
Frady voted
against the decision to end the county's agreement with local cities for
use of the County Jail, and he pushed for a complete rollback of taxes
to account for inflation.
He also was
opposed to the decision to sue the town of Tyrone over its sewer contract
with the city of Fairburn, he said.
"These
are issues I feel firmly about," he said.
Dunn and Wells,
who were elected in 1998, joined former Commissioner Harold Bost in moving
the county in a decidedly more conservative direction.
Bost, who served
as chairman in 1999 and 2000, was reelected as a commissioner for the
2001-2004 term, but stepped down as chairman in favor of Dunn, saying
two years was enough. But then in March he resigned as a commissioner
citing personal concerns, and Commissioner Peter Pfeifer was elected to
finish out his term.
Both Pfeifer
and Commissioner A.G. VanLandingham, elected in 2000 to replace Glen Gosa,
who chose not to run for reelection, have promised to continue the conservative
trend.
