Oconee coroner next term

An apparent, open-ended political question across Oconee County is who will serve as the next county coroner, for the term that starts in 2025 and finishes in 2028.  The current Oconee coroner Karl Addis, in office since the mid-1990s, publicly announced that his current term will be his last, although sources close to Addis say he is having second thoughts about retirement after next year.  Oconeeans elect a coroner as part of next year’s elections.  Other than Addis, few names have surfaced as to other possibilities.  And one man who was mentioned a year ago said this week that he will not run.  In fact, he said this, in a response to a 101.7/WGOG NEWS, inquiry:  “I love all the CSI shows, so for now just living vicariously.  Don’t want to get up in the middle of night the night to look at dead people.”
