Habersham County officials said Monday they were searching for a suspect following the recent vandalism of a sign at the entrance of Habersham County's campus on Jacob's Way.
According to a statement from Habersham County Commission Chairman Ty Akins, the county discovered Saturday that a portion of the sign at the campus' entrance had been tagged with spray paint.
"The person(s) responsible for the damage used an expletive regarding taxes and also took aim at one of our county commissioners," Akins said. "It is a sad day in our county when someone protesting taxes causes damage to a sign purchased and maintained with tax money. As commissioners, each of the five of us speaks and votes our conscience in what we believe is best for our citizens. We don’t always agree, but we do respect each other. We work together and communicate regularly to try and make the best decisions we can."
Anyone with information about those responsible for the damage is asked to call the sheriff's office tip line at (706) 839-0525.
