Journalists found mixed compliance across counties with many lacking brochures, asking requestors about their purpose, or denying copies. Some sheriffs admitted gaps in understanding.

City eyes 2002 budget raises and pool plan
City commissioners set 2002 priorities including a 1.5 percent January raise for some staff and up to 4 percent for others, with a 2 to 2.5 percent boost for those receiving January raises. A 1/2 cent sales tax remains on the table to fund a planned third fire station and pool projects, plus pool committee plans to reimagine the Big Pool. The plan also contemplates shifting recreation funding to USD 457, with potential mill levy changes and long term funding strategies for city facilities.
