New Interim Attorney Appointed To Fill Position Until Mr. Dunnavant Returns

Until County Attorney Richard Dunnavant, who was badly injured in a horse accident, returns to his duties Attorney Chris Williams has been appointed by the County Executive as the interim County Attorney.

I congratulate Mr. Williams, whom I opposed earlier in favor of Mr. Dunnavant, and believe he will be a good attorney for representing Giles County.

One of the problems with this position has been the confusion that seems to have existed with the responsibilities of this position.  I remind everyone that the County Attorney represents and works for the County not just the County Executive.
