Jennings and judges defend rural courts against reform plan
State Rep. Russ Jennings and area judges oppose a bill to end the one-judge-per-county rule. They argue it would reduce local access to courts and overload urban districts. Jennings insists every county deserves a courtroom and courthouse, warning some judges could lose their jobs if positions are eliminated. District Magistrate Judge Wade Dixon of Greeley County is mentioned.

St. Catherine Hospital ends its two year partnership with EagleMed as flight volume proved insufficient to justify costs. The Eurocopter A-Star AS350-B2 had operated from a hospital helipad near the emergency entrance, but in October officials were told the service would be withdrawn. Scott Taylor, hospital CEO, said the regional flight volume did not support maintaining the crew and helicopter.
