At the beginning of each year, each county commission throughout the state meets to choose one of their members to serve as president. Elected by Commissioners Linkinoggor and Tucker, Greg Fitzwater was chosen Friday as president of the Clay County Commission for the coming year. This is Greg’s first term as county commissioner, as he defeated incumbent Mike Pierson in the fall election to win the seat. With the county in dire financial strain and no solution for the budget within sight, the county commissioners will certainly have their work cut out for them in 2015.
