County assessor job opens

The Sweetwater County Democratic Party is now seeking applications for the County Assessor’s position.

This position was left vacant after Pat Drinkle, a Democrat, announced her retirement. On Tuesday morning, the Sweetwater County Commissioners unanimously approved a letter notifying the Sweetwater County Democratic Party Central Committee of the vacancy.

The Commissioners’ letter states the Democrat party must name three qualified residents to hold the assessor’s position and forward those names to the Commissioners. The Commissioners will then appoint one of the three selected.
