While I was at the Fiscal Court meeting on Tuesday, October 16th, the budget committee that had been appointed by County Judge John Logan Brent discussed options on how the county was going to make the appropriate cuts for the county. We realize that this is a very difficult job for a committee, and especially making decisions that are fair for all. Budget cuts  were made to EMS, parks and recreations and the Sheriff’s budgets. We realize that the budget committee went after the biggest cuts first. I am all for budget cuts and Henry County should have done this years ago.

Hello, my name is E. Lee Ann Armstrong and I am seeking my third term in office for the city council in Eminence. My family and I have lived here for many years: my husband grew up here and graduated from Eminence school as well as three of my sons.

My name is Howard Roberts and I am a candidate for the Pleasureville City Commission. At this time, I am, regrettably, withdrawing from the upcoming election. I wish to thank all the people who supported me, and explain the reason for my withdrawal.

A question was raised about my eligibility to run for the city commission. It was argued that I had not lived in the city long enough. The law says that a candidate must live in the city limits one-year prior to the election date.

Eminence is blessed with many good citizens wanting to get involved in their local politics; Citizens wanting involvement representing and implementing a positive direction for their City. Eminence voters are fortunate to have multiple choices as to who represents their city and concerns. They are especially fortunate to have Jon Park as a choice for Eminence City Council.
