Brooksville, Fla.- No plans have been made for retirement for the supervisor of elections even though she is on a short-timer's calendar.
When asked is she planned on running again in 2012, Hernando County Supervisor of Elections Annie Williams says she isn't ready to say her final goodbyes or not just yet. Williams, 55, has served her entire adult life in the supervisor of elections office. She served as a clerk to former supervisor Ann Mau. Williams was elected after Mau retired in 2000.
"I haven't made up my mind yet about retirement," Williams said. "I still have some thinking to do about my future."
Williams entered the Florida "Deferred Retirement Drop Program" (DROP) which sets up future benefits while employees continue to work. Once employees enter DROP all future retirement benefits stop and a 5-year deadline for retirement is imposed on the employee. Williams did not say where she was in terms of remaining years in her DROP schedule.
Williams says she hasn't given much thought to retirement. Her time has been spent fighting for more money for her budget. She also says the increased cost of redistricting will add additional impact to her department.
"An announcement about my future will come soon," Williams said. "It will probably come before the end of the year."
