 As
Hamilton County Mayor I am committed to improving the lives of Hamilton County citizens.
To do so I have created four initiatives to protect the beauty of the Tennessee
Valley that we live in, further the education of our school children, preparing
them for the challenging, technical jobs we are bringing to Hamilton County and
to promote better wellness and activity through our Step ONE program. These four
programs are just part of our ongoing effort to make Hamilton County the best community
in America.
I invite you to read about them and thank you for your interest in our home.

Hamilton Shines Mission is to
reduce the practice of littering through education and enforcement. Littering is
not a problem that is specific to any one area or demographic, it is everywhere.
The intention is to bring about a heightened awareness to all citizens, young and
old, that there are laws against littering and that littering does have consequences.
