Here, in Toombs County, we are starting down a new road. In the 2008 legislature we had our county government changed to a county manager. No longer will we have a Commission Chairman that does what ever he wants to, sometimes not even bothering to tell the other commissioners or obtaining a vote. Finally, we will have someone who adds and subtracts for a living, not when he has to.
Doug Eaves came to us from Johnson County. His wife still lives in Dublin until Doug gets settled. However, Doug has to maintain his residency here, it’s part of the law.
Doug’s job, among many, is to help us navigate the increasingly difficult seas of balanced budgets and property tax rates. He had been on the job for less than 3 days when I interviewed him. It was way to soon to get any substantive proposals from him, but for everyone from Toombs County, you ought to listen to the interview.
