Trion Mayor Larry Stansell indicated that the county government is not living up to its end of the bargain when it comes to animal control services in the Town of Trion.

The town contracts with Chattooga County Animal Control to provide animal control services within the town limits.  According to The Summerville News, Mayor Stansell responded to a question about animal control from a resident by saying, “The county is experiencing some difficulties in dealing with the agreed amount of services.”

Stansell said that the town pays the county over $10,000 per year to provide animal control services.
