Commission votes to hire tag office clerk

The Fayette County Commission voted to hire a tag office clerk at its Jan. 11 meeting. Commissioner Joe Acker was absent from the meeting, with all other commissioners present. Commission Chairman Mike Freeman said that the tag office has been working with one less employee for the past few months. He said that the number of transactions performed by the tag office each month is “huge,” and that the department needs to hire an additional employee to be fully staffed.
