She also brought forward the report of the ARPA committee for expenditure of the funds that will total nearly $1.6M at the completion of the program.

Another $76,224.63 was approved to line all of the sewer lines in the Courts Building after cracks have been discovered.

I wonder if we realize how powerful our words are. Prov. 18:21 tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue and there will be consequences for the words we speak, whether good or bad.
