Well, with that announcement came an additional announcement that Manny Nicols is also running for commissioner. WTAJ reported that both Barger and Nicols used the Friday announcement to reveal their plans for office. Barger told the gathering that he would like to see more accountability from the board of commissioners, and Nicols said he will target certain groups of people for tax cuts, most notably Nicols said his goal is to eliminate property taxes for those 65 and over. And he also wants to move the weekly commissioners meeting to nighttime, so more people can attend.
