Bravo to the board for looking at all these issues and coming out with a good plan for the future.

The local SRS office is notifying people this week on general assistance and food stamps that their awards will be reduced. One person's GA went from $180 to $100. The cuts take effect in August.

Based on personal experience that I'll not go into, I know the habits of this reporter. She read the police/KBI affidavit and didn't do any other reporting. Note: she doesn't mention trying to get the views of Herrick or Beatty or even trying to reach the KBI agent herself. Like I said, she read a document and wrote what it said without going further and giving it a context. For instance, does this case have anything to do with Mike Williams' departure? Did the reporter even think to ask that question?

But, I'm with those who think Star Construction took city money without doing the work. Again, the reporter should have anticipated that issue and asked whether the company has to repay the city.

This is typical Gazette reporting.

She got a good deal pleading to 2 misdemeanors after being charged with 2 felonies. I know a lot of people who have never gotten that sweet a deal. What gives? She hasn't even paid the money back....

sounds like a bad situation was averted by the females who broke her fall. those stairs present real problems. one inmate used a "boat" bed and flew down them. a male inmate also fell and had bad head injuries. the jail really isn't designed for people who have to be there for looooong stretches. there's so little for the inmates to do besides sleep and eat. at least in prison there are more educational programs and other activities.
