Your Local Democratic Elected Officials Floyd Thomas – Caroline County Board of Supervisors (Chairman), Mattaponi District Floyd W. Thomas lists the county’s Summer Jobs Program among accomplishments he is most proud of. Under the program, high school and college students get a chance to work in county offices during their summer break. He notes that the county reaps future benefits when any of those students decide to pursue a lifelong career with the county. Floyd was a leading proponent of transforming the old middle school into the county’s sparkling Community Services Building. Rather than being razed, the historic structure became the home of the county’s fire and rescue services and other departments. It also houses the library, an auditorium and several conference rooms. Another accomplishment was getting the state Department of Transportation to make short-term improvements at the Interstate 95/Route 207 interchange so county residents could get immediate relief from traffic congestion rather than waiting five years for the project under the state’s master plan. Floyd has served on the Telecommunication and Utilities Steering Committee of the Virginia Association of Counties. He works for software vendor Oracle and has more than 25 years of experience in the industry. Maxie Rozell – Caroline County Board of Supervisors, Reedy Church District Maxie Rozell has represented the Reedy Church District on the Caroline County Board of Supervisors since 2000. Maxie has been instrumental in the development of water and sewer improvements as well as housing initiatives for the Dawn area. He has worked tirelessly for transportation projects throughout the county but especially in the area around Interstate 95 at Carmel Church. In addition to his Board of Supervisors duties, he serves on the boards of the Rappahannock Area Agency on Aging, the Rappahannock United Way, the George Washington Regional Commission, and the Dawn Wastewater and Housing Rehabilitation Committee. Maxie is Director of Safety and Security at Rappahannock Electric Cooperative. Sharon W. Carter – Caroline County Commissioner of the Revenue Sharon W. Carter has worked in the commissioner’s office for 20 years and has held the office for eight. The mission of her office is to provide the citizens of Caroline with expert guidance in meeting their tax obligations under state and local tax laws and to do so with integrity and fairness. Sharon points out that the office is directly accountable to the citizens of Caroline. She is certified by the University of Virginia as a Master Commissioner, a designation that must be renewed annually by UVA and the state. “The citizens of Caroline County are my top priority and I want them to know the office of Commissioner of the Revenue is their office. This would not be possible without a supportive County Administration and Board of Supervisors.” Elizabeth B. Curran – Caroline County Treasurer Elizabeth B. (Beth) Curran, who has been Caroline County Treasurer since 1992, is the county’s chief financial officer. As such, her office collects taxes and fees and makes sure the county’s bills get paid. Her office is where we pay taxes and get our vehicle decals and other permits and licenses. The money collected is then used to pay the bills for the county. This means Beth has to balance the county’s bank accounts as well as invest any cash not immediately needed for local government expenses. The Treasurer’s independent status as an elected constitutional officer means that our local funds are managed by someone who works closely with the Board of Supervisors but reports directly to the residents. Beth carries out her duties with integrity and fairness and richly deserves our continued support.
