Animal shelter still delayed, and other news nuggets

By Josh Sweigart | Friday, September 26, 2008, 10:03 AM

Another busy day. Here’s the roundup:

The Butler County animal shelter is still dogged with delays, so to speak. Now it’s a permitting hang-up. Read the story here. A couple clarifications, though: the on-target bids for the project were submitted in July, not June, and County Administrator Tim Williams stresses that site preparation is done at the site and undergrounding is progressing. So progress is being made.

On the state level, state Sen. Gary Cates, R-West Chester Twp., and other lawmakers want to revise the Safe Haven law to extend the time a biological mother or father could drop off a child after birth consequence-free from 72 hours to 30 days. Here’s the story on that.

On the local level, 11 elected officials countywide will see no opposition on the November ballot. Here’s a story on that, and here are the 11 people who will by default serve another term:

  1. Butler County Treasurer Nancy Nix
  2. County Commissioner Donald Dixon
  3. Robin Piper for county prosecutor.
  4. Greg Wilkens for county engineer.
  5. Dr. Richard Burkhardt for county coroner.
  6. Andrew Nastoff for common pleas court judge - general division.
  7. Charles Pater for common pleas court judge - general division.
  8. Michael Sage for common pleas court judge - general division.
  9. Ronald R. Craft for common pleas court judge - juvenile division.
  10. Randy T. Rogers for common pleas court judge - probate division.
  11. Kevin C. McDonough for Area II county court judge.

Thoughts on any of these issues?

Where are the democrats when you need them? I guess they ran no one against Dixon because he’s still a democrat.

Hey Louie, Don Dixon has saved us taxpayers a ton of money. So we don’t care what his politics is. Keep cutting that County fat Mr. Dixon !
