I’m Charlie Paris and I am currently the Chairman of your Board of Commissioners. I am a candidate for re-election to that office.
Over the past 11 years we have made major improvements to each department and have also improved the financial position of the county to the best in our history. Further, our property tax millage rate is lower than 143 of the 159 counties in Georgia.
I made the decision to run again because I believe that Gilmer is at a crossroads and that the next four years will set the direction for the county for many years to come. There is still more to do, and much of it will be critical.
I hope that you have been pleased with my leadership over the last 11 years.
I ask for your support to allow me to continue working with you to guarantee the quality of life in our great county.
