Center Subsidy Approved Without Mayor Signature
An Oct 20 city council ordinance appropriates 2500 dollars to subsidize the Southeastern Ohio Hearing and Speech Center Inc. but will take effect without Mayor Barrett's signature after he blocked signing due to revenue sharing rules. The mayor ordered a contract ensuring auditing and monthly reports, and suggested placing funding in the fiscal year budget.
