Gag order in juvenile murder case limits reporting
Judge D D Bigler in Union County issued a gag order restricting media from identifying the juvenile defendant in a murder case. The order, tied to the juvenile’s status, may change if the defendant is tried as an adult, while a psychiatric exam is completed. The ruling sparks questions about constitutionality and procedures, with local papers planning to challenge the order.

Franklin EMS seeks tax funding to keep ambulances running
Franklin County Emergency Medical Services board warns the county needs a tax based financial rescue to sustain operations. They urge the county board to consider a special taxing district or a tax levy referendum to secure future funding. Five coordinators have not been paid for months and volunteers receive minimal per run pay. A proposed special district would levy 4 percent per $100 of assessed property value, potentially raising about $30,000 annually.
