County Commissioners attended state mandatory training in Atlanta this week and have the opportunity to meet with legislative subcommittee members and Association of County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG) staff members to review the legislative priorities for counties representing a united front to the legislators. The process of defining this platform takes thousands of hours from commissioners all over Georgia that serve on a variety of committees on items from tax matters to environmental matters to public health and safety. The central message throughout all platform statements is that there is no "one size fits all" for Georgia counties. What works for Dekalb and Tift and Lowndes does not necessarily work for Charlton, Brantley or even Glynn.
The real blessing is that by coming together as one body through ACCG, the counties have a unified voice at the capital and have a far greater impact on legislation that determines each counties future.
