County Council re-organizes for 2023

An Oconee County government reorganization is in the wings Tuesday night at Pine Street.  District One’s John Elliott, the county council chairman, and Don Mize-District Three councilman-elect, were among those seated Friday for the swearing-in of the county’s new judge of probate, Danny Singleton.  In one of his first official duties, Singleton will administer the oath office to both Elliott and Mize — Elliot for a second, four-year term; Mize, for his first.  They are to take the oath before the start of the 6 o’clock meeting.  The annual council reorganization meeting includes the election of officers.  A question to be decided:  Will Elliott be able to win a second term as chairman in a vote of the four-sitting councilmen.
