Levy Bond Election Set In Boone County
Boone County Board of Education moved the special levy and bond election to February 15 due to Lincoln's Birthday conflicts. The measure seeks an eight percent levy and bond, echoing a defeat from last year. A long running feud between Luther R. Jones editor of the Coal Valley News and his brother Virgil Jones, a retired teacher, shapes local debate over taxes, waste, and school reform.
