New Castle County faces wage boosts under federal rule
County commissioners plan to raise minimum wages for CETA workers to meet the $3.35 federal standard that took effect Jan 1. Delays in recalculating affected wages persist, but actions are slated for Tuesday. The board also agreed to raise retirement fund interest from 4 to 5 percent and reviewed changes in workers compensation policies and county bids for tax bills, binders, and assorted appointments and staff hires across several county boards and agencies.

Mahoning Residents Seek Own Attorney Over Parked Truck Plant
Mahoning Township supervisors told residents near U S 422 and Pa 551 to secure their own attorney as they pursue appeals to overturn Liberty Body Co building plans. The firm has a zoning board variance to erect a truck trailer body plant near the highway. Residents want the land returned to its original zoning. The board also aims to lower funding targets for a planned social hall and will re bid the project after architect Edward Jakubick revises plans that bids deemed too high. They will explore a Tennessee Gas Pipeline gas reduction station to serve residents. Road 560 was finally named Butch Circle after two local residents.

Judge Asked for More Time in Savage Assault Case
Assistant District Attorney Howard Klebe sought additional time before bringing Xavier Savage to trial on charges of assault robbery and rape of a pregnant Wampum woman in the presence of her 7 year old daughter. Defense argues lack of diligence and questions witness availability and pregnancy confirmation. The case hinges on the chief witness who moved out of the area and recently gave birth, complicating scheduling.
