MADISON — Michael Brooks of Madison and Kim Trammell of Tamworth are devoted to their communities and enjoy helping people. It’s one of the big reasons why they have signed up again to run for town clerk-tax collector in their respective towns.
The 10-day sign-up period for town and school officials for non-SB-2 towns runs through Friday, Feb. 2 at 5 p.m.
