The time has come to say goodbye
All good things must come to an end. And my time with Butler County News and Issues is no exception.
I am leaving Butler County to take a job with the Springfield News-Sun. Starting next week, I will be covering Clark County, doing roughly the same job I’m doing here, with different scenery. It’s an exciting opportunity.
But worry (or celebrate) not. This blog isn’t going away. Michael Pitman will be taking over Butler County coverage and this blog. Mike has been with our paper for many years covering several beats including Fairfield and Middletown. I’m sure he won’t miss a beat.
So thank you, dear readers, for your attention and your comments over the years. It has been a great ride.
If anyone knows of any brewing issues I should keep an eye on in Clark County, feel free to drop me a line. The Springfield paper is part of the same company, so my e-mail won’t change: jsweigart@coxohio.com.

TweetButler County treasurer to reduce office hours to save money
Press release from the Butler County Treasurer’s Office:
Butler County Treasurer Nancy Nix announced that she will be reducing her office hours beginning Monday, August 16, opening one half hour later and closing one half hour earlier. The Treasurer’s Office will be open Monday through Friday from 8:30 am until 4:30 pm.
Since taking office in June 2007, Treasurer Nix has reduced personnel by 35%, including two employees who will be laid off this week. Nix has been credited for holding the line on spending and working with other county leaders to trim costs. “It has been a very arduous process,” said Nix about the budget cuts. The reduction in office hours from 40 to 35 per week is a budget move, saving the county $35,313 this year.
With regard to the new hours of operation, Nix stated: “Our office will maximize our efficiency and offer the same quality service the public has come to expect. While it is not easy to offer fewer hours of operation, difficult budget times call for difficult measures. The Treasurer’s Office will continue to do more with less, and work hard to meet the needs of Butler County residents. Hopefully, the public will adjust to the new hours very quickly, and will work with us on these budget issues.”
The Treasurer continues to encourage the public to utilize the on-line services on the website: www.butlercountytreasurer.org.
