WE MESSED UP AND NOW WE NEED TO MAKE IT
RIGHT.
Earlier
this week in an article for our 2019 year in review we reported
incorrect information regarding the Public Facilities Tax referendum
that will be on the ballot in 2020. In the article about the two hot
topices in 2019 it stated that if the tax referendum it passed would
provide funding for the courthouse repair and the Logan County Jail
upgrades. That is wrong.
The tax referendum, if passed will bring in money ONLY for the
repair and restoration of the Logan County Courthouse.
We deeply regret this error and any trouble it may have caused for
the Logan County Board or confusion for our Logan County residents.
