Oconee County Commissioners Are Working As A Team, Chairman Tells County Republican Gathering

The five members of the Oconee County Board of Commissioners have come together to address the issues before the county, commissioners told a gathering of the Oconee County Republican Party late last month.

“We are working together as a team, and that’s what we are,” Commission Chair John Daniell told the group in what was billed as a State Of Oconee County report. Daniell assumed the Chair position only in January.

“I appreciate John’s leadership,” said Mark Thomas, also new to the Commission in January.

“It has been a pleasure,” Commissioner Chuck Horton said of working with the new Commission. Horton rejoined the Board in December after a four-year hiatus.

“We’re talking. We’re communicating,” said Commissioner Mark Saxon, who started his second term in January. “I think communication is extremely well right now.”

About 30 people attended the county Republican Party meeting, during which Sheriff Scott Berry also gave an overview on the work of the Sheriff’s Office.
