The official date to vote for Taylorville city officials is less than a month away and the city is going to have a major turnover in it's government positions. One of those positions include City Clerk, where Pam Peabody is stepping down after holding the position for more than 20 years.

Michelle Beck is looking to claim the open City Clerk position. She said she believes her job experience has helped set her up for success in the city clerk position.

Beck said when it comes to the School Tax Referendum, she understands both sides of the coin, but she also realizes that for the city to continue to grow, the schools can't cut back on their classes and extracurricular options.

Beck appeared on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
