The Primary Is Officially Over

Last night's regular Woodford County Board meeting was the shortest by far we've attended. It was under two hours. The election must be over.

Arguably, the two most interesting items came up nearly as asides, right towards the very end of the meeting. There was a delicate minuet performed around the issue of the "Public Safety" sales tax of 1% with regard to the general financial situation of the county after an audit for 2005 which showed that the 44% property tax levy increase probably wasn't all that wise or necessary. Fuel tax receipts (surprise, surprise) are way up as well. We shall report on the audit as soon as we get a copy from the courthouse.

The other item was discussion about potential pay raises for County Board members; yep, election definitely over.
