A warm winter and unusually warm spring have burst forth this year. We were able to do a lot of catch up work on our roads. We continue to deal with water runoff during rain events. We are working hard as we have over three thousand miles of ditches to maintain. At the courthouse we have been able to expand the county clerks’ office. The circuit clerk has moved into her new office across the street. We have projects on the grounds as well that will make our area more attractive. Hopefully the new parking lot will be finished soon. This will give visitors to the assessor and collector offices a better place to park. Finally, I hope you all get out and enjoy Toad Suck Daze the first weekend in May. If not, I hope you just get out and soak in the beauty of spring. Thank you for all your support. Please let us know if we can help you.
