Carla Hatfield, longtime activist in Republican politics who had worked in the Property Assessors Office for years was asked by Trustee Duncan to come to work in the Trustees Office and become his Administrative Assistant. She did. Now, Duncan is gone and the Black Wednesday County Commissioner appointed Interim Trustee is having his Administrative Assistant sent to the Cedar Bluff satellite office.
Hatfield is longtime Halls community activist. Her husband is a Regal Cinema employee and is an elected member of the State Republican Executive Committee representing the district served by State Senator Becky Duncan Massey.
That seems awfully punitive to force a Halls citizen that has years of working knowledge and experience at the City County Building to now commute to the other end of the county.
Two sources indicate that another employee (Karen Brown) has left recently as well.
