“It’s it’s a good day today and I feel good. I’ve been working with the counting right now at 10 years, and this is a promotion. And I understand that Public Works is a demanding position, and I’m willing to take on that task,” said Quinn.
“Well, the main thing is the budget. And since that was my previous experience working with the budget, I want to continue to work with the budget to make sure that the counties stay on track with the citizens, taxpayers money. And I wanted to make sure that we be good stewards of the taxpayer,” said Berry.
Berry said proper budget management will be a top priority, and Quinn plans to focus on paving county streets.
