A Public Comment from the Henry County Auditor

When taking on the position of Henry County Auditor, it’s something I have worked hard for and take great pride in. This role is not about the title, and it’s not about the money — it’s about making a difference.

As Auditor, my duty is to serve the taxpayers of Henry County with integrity, transparency, and dedication. The Auditor’s Office operates independently, elected directly by the people. My responsibilities include keeping accurate county records and serving as secretary to the Board of Supervisors by recording the minutes — I also want to clarify that the Auditor is an equal elected official, independent of, and not subordinate to, the Board.

Henry County is my home. As both a resident and as your elected Auditor, it saddens me to see how easily misinformation and rumors can spread — often by those who may not have all the facts. These false narratives mislead the public and create division where cooperation should exist.

In my nearly 15 years of working for Henry County, I have always welcomed anyone — citizen, employee, or board member — to come directly to the Auditor’s Office for accurate information.

To date, individuals who speak during public comment or the individuals who record our meetings have not come to me personally to confirm the facts. I welcome those conversations—I have nothing to hide, and my door remains open.

Henry County government should operate as a team — elected and non-elected officials alike — working together for the good of our taxpayers. Unfortunately, recent behavior and misleading claims have made that teamwork difficult. It’s time we return to cooperation, respect, and truth.

To the residents of Henry County: if you want the facts, please come to the source. My office is open, and I am committed to transparency and serve to you.

Thank you.
