courthouse.
About 50 people attended the event held at the Perry County Legislators who attended
included Rep. Spencer
Hawks, Sen. Jason Rapert, Sen. Mark Johnson and Rep. Rick Beck. Perry County Judge Toby Davis said he was pleased with the turnout and thanked legislators for their readiness to build relation- ships with Perry County. Davis said an event such as a reception gives county and state elect- ed officials rare one-on-one time to discuss issues facing counties. “Te state legislators are the people who represent us, and it’s
great for county and local officials and business people to get to- gether to discuss the issues that benefit everybody,” he said. Davis urges other counties to schedule time to meet face-to-face with legislators.
“I encourage other counties to host legislators because a lot of people, like business owners, did not know who their legislators were,” he said. Perry County Treasurer Jan Moore, who organized the reception, echoes Davis. “Tis is the only way you’re going to meet them [legislators],” she
said. “Tey need to see where you are and let them know that we need their help on some issues.” Perry County Sheriff Scott Montgomery hopes Perry County’s
event would motivate other counties. “I would encourage every sheriff, county and city leader to meet with our legislators,” he said. “Tis [a reception] gives us a better chance to meet with them one-on-one to discuss our local needs for the betterment of our citizens.”
