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.
