Chief appraiser fired after four-hour-long meeting

Jones County’s chief tax appraiser was fired at the conclusion of a Feb. 20 called meeting that lasted more than four hours. 

The motion to remove Tony George was made by Jones County Board of Tax Assessors member Joe Rutledge. Two additional board members joined Rutledge in the vote, and the termination was immediate.

The complete story about the meeting will be included in next week’s edition of The Jones County News.
