Dispatch Center Seeks Additional Sales Tax
If an effort by Pineville attorney Robert W. Evenson on behalf of McDonald County emergency communications (911) is successful, 911 will start collecting between $4,000 and $9,000 more each month in sales tax income. Lisa McCool-Rataczak, executive director of the dispatch center, said that a domestic utilities tax is collected in McDonald County at only 1.5 percent, that’s a half-percent each for the General Fund, the Road and Bridge Fund and the Law Enforcement Fund.

In The Beginning Was The Word
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3:2 Dennis Yotter greeted the congregation and made announcements: Ladies Bible Study is Monday, 1:30 p.m. at the church, also elections are the 19th.
