Councilman Mullinax was first elected to Town Council in 2012 and was reelected in 2014. He serves as Chairman of the Public Safety Committee and Council Liaison to the Neighborhood Council. The Neighborhood Council is responsible for promoting crime watch and emergency preparedness, especially for hurricanes. Troy has worked hard to recruit representatives of the neighborhoods in the Town and has had success, though some representatives participate more than others. Troy and the Neighborhood Council play a key role in one of the Town's major annual events, "National Night Out." It is always a great success. If you haven't been, be sure to come. The emphasis is on promoting neighborhood crime watch and building bridges between the Town's law enforcement and the community.
Troy and I do not always agree, but we both support one of the key goals of the Town--giving our former residents in the unincorporated area an opportunity to rejoin. All members of Council have been aware of the Town's work to change annexation law in Columbia. Troy has been supportive. However, Town Council never voted on the matter until last spring. Troy voted in favor of a resolution in support of the legislation needed to reunite the Town.
Troy has also supported cooperation with James Island Public Service District to allow for a tax credit. That is what allowed Town homeowners to have a more than 13% property tax cut in October. He is committed to continued tax relief in coming years.
Troy supports the Town's low density development policy. He supports the Island Sheriff's Patrol and supported working towards having a Deputy assigned to the Town full time. He has supported the Town's efforts to build sidewalks and parks. He understands the need to emphasize drainage.
Troy Mullinax is a sound choice for Town Council. He has a record. And when it is truly important, he has come through for our Town.
