Viola village rebates to taxpayers totaling 9500 dollars
Mayor Ivan Cooper and the Viola village council vote to return unused revenue of 9500 dollars to about 300 taxpayers. Each likely receives 20 to 30 dollars this fall. The move is likened to returning a cup of sugar to a neighbor. Meat bargains offset higher costs for sick and vacationing Americans as consumer prices rise six percent annually in July per the Labor Department.
