JASPER, Ga. – After a COVID-19 outbreak in January, the Pickens County Board of Commissioners worked to fill several county and committee positions for the new year.
The board unanimously approved the rehiring of County Clerk Lesa Thomason, Deputy Clerk Karen Wheeler, and County Attorney Phil Landrum, III.
In a lighthearted moment, Commission Chair Kris Stancil turned to his ill-prepared colleagues concerning the appointment of a vice chair.
“The next item is going to require you guys [Commissioner Becky Denney and Jerry Barnes] to make your own choice there,” said Stancil jokingly.
JASPER, Ga. – At Tuesday’s Board of Election meeting, Kathy Browning confronted board members regarding her frustration during the elections of 2020.
From beginning to end, the official Pickens County Board of Elections meeting lasted maybe a total of 15 minutes. With the lack of a full board, much of the agenda was tabled for another day. It wasn’t until the meeting was adjourned that Kathy Browning asked to speak regarding her time as a poll worker.
Browning gave an emotional and detailed recount of her time while at the Pickens County Recreation Center. Short of her calling people or a party by name, Browning says she was intimidated by a handful of unyielding poll watchers assigned to the same location. What’s more, she says it impeded her ability to manage the voters standing in the long lines.
