The Christian County Board has a new chairman. Tim Carlson was voted unanimously Monday night by the new Christian County Board to serve as Chairman of the Board. Carlson said it’s an honor to be voted Chairman, and he felt it was the right time to throw his name in for the position.

One issue Carlson hopes to tackle is the current deficit the county has. He says it will take some hard work, but has some ideas to help eliminate expenses.

Carlson said his time already serving on the county board gave him a better understanding of the various cuts that could be made to county spending to help fight the budget deficit.
