County commissioners expressed their praise for their local tax commissioner Chad Alexander, asserting that he was a vital member of their staff that truly deserved the award and recognition he had received.

TIFTON — The Tift County Board of Commissioners offered their congratulations to county tax commissioner Chad Alexander in honor of his recent naming as Tax Commissioner of the Year.

As the June 9 commissioners’ meeting came to a close, county manager Jim Carter requested that the board acknowledge and congratulate Alexander on the award, expressing that his hard work and dedication to the county deserved to be recognized locally as well as statewide.
