Saline County project hit by Davis Bacon cost hurdle
Ottawa Herald notes the Saline County aging commission considered renovating the second floor of the old county courthouse for an elderly nutrition program but confronted Davis Bacon Act wage rules. Kansas City base rates push costs higher, risking shelving the project. The piece also comments on postal rate hikes, job openings at the Kansas City sorting center, and local editorials. It mentions Carmen Peffly crafting a clock and paintings on china, gifting a weed supervisor a decorative, musical rendition of the knapweed thistle.
