County Officials Eye Revenue Sharing Rules In Trouble
Athens County Commissioners may have violated state guidelines for federal revenue sharing funds. Commissioner President John Law said money earmarked for the Athens County Historical Society, Chauncey Senior Citizens, and Home Health Agency may have been misapplied under unclear rules. The group awaits a ruling from the state attorney general as debate centers on appropriate use of the funds and a pending TB treatment bill. A July 10 public hearing on county subdivision regulations was set.
