Who Does The County Attorney Work For?

My View by Jim Yacavone

If you follow the county commission you get the distinct impression that the two post commissioners, Larry Sosebee and Earl John­son, do not entirely trust the county attorney, Lynn Doss, because they are not sure who she works for. Is her cli­ent Commission Chairman Bill Simonds, the Board of Commission­ers as a whole or the three commissioners individually? 

COUNTY ORDINANCES DRAFTED IMPROPERLY SINCE 2007

In 2002 Georgia enacted a law requiring counties to compile and publish a code of ordinances no later than January 1, 2002. O.C.G.A. § 36-80-19 (2014). The law also requires that subsequently enacted ordinances be drafted in the same format as the code of ordinances. Fannin county has routinely violated the law since 2007.
