I am married to Arnie Akers, and I have three children and two bonus daughters. Ally is a sophomore at GCHS, Slayter is a 7th grader at GMS, Benjamin is a 4th grader at CDR, Leah is a 6th grader at GMS, and Lily is a 3rd grader at PLE. My job as tax administrator involves the collection of occupational tax and net profit taxes that are paid to Garrard County.
