In its first organizational meeting of the year, Madison Co board appointed Tina Wayland-Smith as county attorney. Wayland-Smith is the first female to earn the position.
She has worked for the county for 28 years, having started in 1988 as an intern and later served as assistant county attorney under John Campanie since 1990. She has been acting county attorney since Campanie retired in 2016.
Becker also noted that Wayland-Smith is related to the first female county supervisor, Eleanor Herrick, who represented Oneida from 1923 to 1948.
