08:52 AM   Is Houston County Commission Chairman A Full Time Job?

08:52 AM Is Houston County Commission Chairman A Full Time Job?

HOUSTON COUNTY:     08:52 AM      Is Houston County Commission Chairman job a full time job?

At $ 130,000.00 a year it is suppose to be.

Not long after elected as Houston County Commission Chairman, Brandon Shoupe, purchased ADVENTURELAND on Highway 84 East. While at the same time serving as “full time” Houston County Commission Chairman.

Now Chairman Shoupe has purchased or in the negotiation of Purchasing Tri-State Graphics on Highway 52. While also asking the people of Houston County to re-elect him as Chairman of the Houston County Commission.  A $ 130,000.00 a year full time job.

Tri-State Graphics, to purchase it, would be a substantial amount of money.

Guess good to suck off the taxpayers a living of $ 130,000.00 while getting two other businesses going. Have government health insurance and at the same time a retirement with Retirement Systems of Alabama.

If you can get elected and suck such dividends off the shoulders of the taxpayers, a pretty good gig!!!!

Do it Brandon, Washing politicians have nothing like you!!!
