Proclamation: National County Government Month - April 2026
- Whereas, the nation's 3,069 counties, serving more than 330 million Americans, provide essential services that contribute to healthy, safe, and vibrant communities; and
- Whereas, counties deliver a wide range of services that impact nearly every aspect of residents' daily lives; and
- Whereas, counties serve as vital intergovernmental partners, implementing local, state, and federal programs to meet the needs of all residents; and
- Whereas, Adair County takes pride in protecting and enhancing the health, well-being, and safety of its residents in efficient and cost-effective ways; and
- Whereas, as the United States commemorates 250 years of independence in 2026, counties continue a long tradition of public service; and
- Whereas, since 1991, the National Association of Counties has encouraged counties to raise awareness of county government roles and services; and
- Whereas, I, Adair County Judge/Executive Larry Russell Bryant, express deep appreciation for the dedicated employees of Adair County who serve daily-often with modest compensation and little recognition--across the Sheriff's Office, Regional Jail, 911 Dispatch and Emergency Management, Green River Animal Shelter, Judge/Executive's Office, PVA, Clerk's Office, Judicial Center, County Attorney's Office, Road Department, Recycling Center, and Litter Abatement and Class D programs, ensuring residents remain safe and well-served; and
- Whereas, these individuals are more than employees-they are committed public servants and true everyday heroes of our community.
