After-School Funding Fallout Strikes Williamson County ROE
Local officials express concern and parents describe panic as federal funding turmoil forces the Williamson Williamson Franklin counties ROE to suspend operations. Kathy Sanders of Johnston City warns children suffer as families scramble for care while prosecutors weigh new legal avenues regarding Kohl. Authorities say federal funds accounted for about 56 percent of the ROE budget and may trigger large losses if funding is frozen. The case traces to a 62 count indictment against Kohl and associates over travel vouchers and alleged perjury, with Kohl defeated in the 2007 term and events continuing to unfold.
