Smithson announces bid for re-election
|
Smithson has lived in the Viola and Morrison communities all her life. She has been involved in numerous community activities and is a member of Pleasant Knoll Church of Christ.
As commissioner, she has served as secretary on the Highway and Bridge Committee, the Building and Grounds Committee and has served on the Nominating Committee.
?As a taxpayer, I do believe strongly in keeping our property taxes under control by wise spending,? Smithson said. ?And will continue to work to see an efficient and cost-conscious county government.?
Smithson says the Warren County Commission has functioned well over the years and she sees no reason for change.
?On the issue of reducing the number of commissioners from 24 to 12, I do not think that will save the taxpayers money,? Smithson said. ?Each county commissioner is on at least two committees and the same amount of work will have to be completed, which would increase the number of meetings the remaining 12 would have to attend. I feel we need the representation of 24 commissioners in our county government.
?I will continue to have your best interest at heart. I ask you for your vote and support to re-elect me your county commissioner in the 9th District.?
