Jama on the Proposed Washington County Property Tax Increase
Jama on “What it Means to be a ‘Values Voter’”

Jama,
Could someone please tell me and the many other citizens as to why the Washington County
Road Superintendent is not an elected office? Was it ignorance or a last minute good ole boy
favor for prior Superintendent who figured his son would not get elected to this position?
Not many of our beloved County Commissioners
can give a valid reason.
Thanks,
Dave

I’ll see what I can find out…

Alright, here’s what I’ve got:
According to my source, it is decided by the county commission/county mayor whether certain county offices – such as county attorney, road superintendent, etc. – are elected or appointed.
That would explain why the county commissioners are hesitant to answer your question…it is apparently simply “at their discretion.”
