GETTING IT RIGHT
A STORY IN THE DEC. 30 EDITIONS ABOUT THE TAX INCREASE IN LAWRENCE COUNTY GAVE THE WRONG AMOUNT A TAXPAYER LIVING IN A HOME ASSESSED AT $50,000 WILL PAY IN INCREASED TAXES. THE TAXPAYER WILL PAY AN ADDITIONAL $12.65 IN COUNTY TAXES THIS YEAR.
THE MENTAL HEALTH AND RECOVERY SERVICES BOARD IN COLUMBIANA WILL NOT LOSE ANY MONEY THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE TO GET VOTER APPROVAL OF A REPLACEMENT LEVY. SUCH A LEVY WOULD GENERATE $447,000 A YEAR IF APPROVED. A STORY IN MONDAY'S EDITIONS GAVE INCORRECT INFORMATION ON THE EFFECTS OF NOT PASSING SUCH A LEVY.
