Pickens County Sheriff’s Office and Sheriff Donnie Craig are asking for citizen’s to voice their concerns
In response to citizen’s concerns regarding government spending, Sheriff Donnie Craig is asking for the community’s input as it relates to how the office spends money. On September 27th at 6 p.m., Sheriff Craig is hosting a Town Hall meeting in the Performing Arts Auditorium of the Pickens County High School. All elected officials are invited to be in attendance to answer public questions as they pertain to the management of their offices.

In addition to the Town Hall meeting, citizens are encouraged to go to www.pickensgasheriff.com and complete the short anonymous survey on the public’s opinion of where additional savings can be made. Through the survey, the Picken’s County Sheriff’s Office will be able to evaluate what areas, if any, the public would like to see reduced as we wait for the economy to turn around. These results will be discussed and made available at the Town Hall Meeting.

Please take a few moments to fill out the survey and pass this along to your contacts. The more input the better.

Deadline for the ChamberGram is the Wednesday at Noon.
