The Washington County Commissioners awarded the new 4-H community building project to AML Construction on November 4 and approved the updated contractual services agreement with Purdue Extension.

After a special Merit Board meeting on November 2, a Washington County Sheriff's Department sergeant remains on unpaid suspension. The board approved an agreement keeping him off the job until criminal charges against him are fully resolved.

Following Tuesday night's general election, we had the pleasure of speaking with Sheriff-elect Wayne Blevins regarding his landslide win. He spoke about how he plans to run the department, as well as his touching motivation to run in the first place. Congratulations Sheriff-elect Blevins!
