Today, Putnam County Executive Kevin Byrne signed Resolution # 151 (2023) declaring Putnam County a “Rule of Law” County. Attached to the signed resolution is an approval message to further document intent, directly reference text from the resolution, and debunk false claims that were perpetuated through a coordinated disinformation campaign supported by dissenting political officials and organizations at public meetings, in print media, and on social media.
“Remember that Putnam County is home. Regardless of what may make us different as individuals, it is our respect for each-other as neighbors, our desire to step up and serve, to lend a hand, and leave this beautiful county better off than we found it. That is what makes this place so special. It is with that in mind that we as a county government are here to serve, and will always serve, with a desire to do better.” - Kevin M. Byrne | Putnam County Executive
