County Receives $5,000 on Lost Liberty State Bank Bond
The county announced this week that a $5,000 payment has been received on the surety bond safeguarding deposits in the defunct Liberty State bank. This represents half of the amount lost, with the other $5,000 promised soon, easing a financial strain extending six weeks. County Attorney Kepler turned the check over to the board and said the balance would arrive in a few days. The bank failure had threatened treasury depletion since December, with efforts hampered by red tape as officials pursued losses. Board members praised the timely payment, noting the full $10,000 will relieve the emergency to a degree.
