ReplyDeleteThe Democrat Harrell said the following: I currently serve on the Henry County Water Authority Board for the Henry County Water Authority… I also serve as chief of staff for Henry County Commissioner Bruce Holmes, District 5, acting as a strategic advisor, individually managing the day-to-day tasks and assigned duties and overseeing various projects on behalf of Commissioner Holmes and District 5. I was one of the District 5 appointees to the SPLOST IV Committee, which I advocated for various projects for District 5 as well as countywide working within a projected budget of $92 million. Looks like an empire building project with Harrell and Holmes at the top!
