Historical Society seeks half mill tax levy in Franklin County
Franklin County Historical Society asks the county to approve a half mill property tax for 2005 to ease debt and fund preservation and education. If approved, residents would see about $6 more per $100,000 of home value, with $75,000 raised this year to support sites including the Old Depot Museum and Dietrich Cabin.

Ottawa plans bond backed renovations and expansions
The district proposes Garfield Elementary expansion to three units at 7.51 million, adding 130 students to reach 360 by fall 2006, while Eisenhower Eugene Field and Hawthorne would become one-unit schools to ease overcrowding. Ottawa High would gain a music room and two classrooms for 3.7 million, with technology upgrades funded except at Garfield and the new northern school. A parcel at 19th and Eisenhower could be bought for up to 250 thousand to support a possible new elementary, while growth needs through 2012–2017 drive space planning.

He left open whether CIA personnel, military staff, or civilian contractors shared responsibility for detainee mistreatment, naming no individuals while signaling accountability at Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski for failed command.
