Trion Considers Turning November Election Over To Chattooga County

The Town of Trion is considering having Chattooga County conduct its November 3 election, rather than handling the election in-house.

Mayor Mickey McGraw told the Trion Town Council the move is primarily about saving money. McGraw said the town had not yet received written cost figures from the county, but early indications were that having Chattooga County run the election would be less expensive than Trion conducting it itself.

The council gave the first reading of an ordinance that would authorize Chattooga County to conduct the November 3 election. A second reading is expected in September before the measure can be finalized.

Town Clerk Missy Duncan clarified that the discussion is not tied to any council or school board races for re-election.

One council member also asked for confirmation that the Trion City School bond question had already been approved for placement on the November ballot. Duncan confirmed that it had.

McGraw said he would also speak with the Trion City School Board about helping with the cost of the election.

The town is now waiting for more detailed cost information from Chattooga County before moving forward with the arrangement.

The Chattooga County Animal Shelter is hoping a local family will open its home to Ms. Betty, a brindle dog recently surrendered to the shelter and now available for adoption.

According to Friends of Chattooga County Animal Shelter, Ms. Betty has done well with other dogs and everyone she has met. Shelter supporters describe her as playful and loving, with a particular fondness for squeaky toys.

Ms. Betty is ready to trade her shelter kennel for a permanent home, and residents interested in adopting are encouraged to stop by and meet her.

The adoption fee is $25.

The Chattooga County Animal Shelter is located at 464 Red Oak Drive in Summerville. The shelter is open from 10 AM until 4 PM Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Wednesday visits are by appointment.

For additional information about Ms. Betty or other animals available for adoption, call the shelter at 706-857-0679.

Those who aren’t able to adopt can still help by sharing information about Ms. Betty and other shelter animals with friends and family.
