Tucker is also represented by the seat in District 8, Pam Speaks' seat, a super-district. So, technically there is an open seat in the Tucker area if Pam Speaks isn't reappointed, FYI.

And, as we have seen, Tucker and every part of our county can be affected by the decisions of the board as a whole, so even if you are not going to apply, please think of every qualified and available individual you can and ask them to please consider submitting their resume for consideration. It can only help to know we have qualified applicants and a qualified, common sense board to replace the irresponsible and irrational one we just escaped.
