Clarke County to abolish board of county commissioners
A proposed bill would abolish the Clarke County Board of Commissioners of Roads and Revenues. The change would place three elected commissioners in office by voter vote next October, replacing the grand jury selection. The measure, prepared for the June State Legislature, aims to set terms and overhaul the county governance structure. Petitions are expected to circulate urging Representative McMahan to introduce and push the bill.
