Library system seeks county tax hike for more funding
The Lawrence County Federated Library System asks lawmakers to raise the library tax to 0.125 mills from 0.11, aiming for about 5 per capita and roughly $100,000 extra yearly. They also request a one time $90,000 from the Marcellus Shale impact fee to stabilize shrinking state support, as attorney Donald J. Nicolls urged the county commissioners.

DEP finds inconclusive cause for cat urine smell in New Castle
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection reports the year old downtown odor incident in New Castle could not identify a specific source. It says a waste containing mesityl oxide or a similar compound reacted with a sulfur compound in the sewer system, creating the pervasive odor. No single industry or waste stream could be definitively tied to the smell.
