Douglas County makes budget cuts to roads and parks
Public Works will trim 90000 dollars from road and bridge operations by switching to lighter limestone rock chips for 50 miles of chip seals. The move reduces maintenance at parks and riprap along Lone Star Lake shore. Zoning may drop fireworks stand inspections and concrete inspection scheduling may change.

Flint police chief sticks to saggy pants crackdown
Flint Michigan Police Chief David Dicks defends a policy of stopping and searching individuals with saggy pants. He has issued warnings since June 27 claiming exposing underwear is disorderly conduct and may justify searches for weapons or drugs. ACLU says the policy violates the U.S. Constitution and deadlines loom for action.
