Smiths for Smith

We moved to Fairfield County over 13 years ago. This was done by choice as we wanted to live in a small town (specifically the place where my wife, her parents and grandparents lived in). Fairfield County was not the same place it had been all those years ago. It seems to have changed and not necessarily in a […]

The Man for the Job

Take the politics out of the 6th Circuit Solicitor’s race and it is nothing more than a job interview. You are the interviewers for that job and the candidates are presenting their resumes. If it were a job interview, who would you hire? I have over 12 years of handling major criminal cases throughout our […]

Time for a Change

I support Marion Robinson for Fairfield County Council District 5. It is time that we bring Transparency, Accountability, and Trust back in to the County Government. Under the direction of our Current leadership in District 5, we have created higher taxes and more County employees. If we continue this trend and the amount of money […]

Same Old, Same Old

When I read Councilman Brown’s and Mayor Gaddy’s endorsement Of Councilman Sanders’ candidacy for County Council District 7, I thought to myself: “Isn’t this just more of the same?” Over the course of the past year and a half, we have come to understand how poorly we have been served by our sitting Council members.

Vote for Smith

David Brown’s support of Clyde Sanders for his Council seat is asking the voters to keep in place the same leadership we have now on Fairfield County Council. Please look at your tax notices and vote for Billy Smith to help reduce taxes.   Gloria D. Blackwell Winnsboro

Analyzing the Analysis

Our Fairfield County government has recently posted on its website a most revealing Council performance summary. The Tax and Services Analysis provides even more evidence of Council’s miserable history of mismanagement. In fact, this report could have been titled “An expose of Council’s big spending and mismanagement.” Please carefully review this insightful report prior to […]

Dear Chairman, Part 3

Dear Chairman Ferguson: As a candidate running for re-election to the Fairfield County Council, it is imperative that the citizens hear your voice. For quite some time now, in the meetings I have attended, both council and committee meetings, more often than not, you refer to County Administrator, Mr. Pope, to explain to the audience […]

Open Invitation

We are requesting your presence this Saturday, Oct. 25, at the Mitford Volunteer Fire Department at 11 a.m. We would like to ask you to explain and prove your accusations concerning several citizens in […]
