Rockdale Commissioner Sherri Washington to host “Tea Talks”

Starting in February, Rockdale County Commissioner Sherri Washington plans to host “Tea Talks” to hear constituents’ concerns and suggestions.

Washington said at today’s Board of Commissioners’ (BOC) meeting that she plans to host the Tea Talks monthly on the first and second Tuesdays, just ahead of the board meetings.

“I hope that residents will talk about their needs in the community: for example, having more parks and recreation facilities. During the budget cycle, they may want to discuss budgetary issues,” said Washington, who was sworn in a few days ago as Rockdale’s new Post 1 commissioner. “It’s just a way to remain engaged with the community, to get their feedback, and for me to answer any questions they may have.”
