The city of Porterdale has lost a good public servant and Social Circle has gained a first class director of public safety.

Tom Fox, as city manager, has guided Porterdale through some very tough times. As of late, he has stood tall even though his council, at times, did not. He will be hard to replace.

On the other hand, the city of Social Circle has put a man in charge of its public safety department that will bring a new sense of pride and honesty to that group.

We look forward to working with Fox in this new position and we wish him well.
