EMS services will not be canceled
EMS will not be canceled for 2011, and the contracted services paid for by Hamer, Jackson, Liberty, New Market, Paint, and Washington townships will be honored by the city of Hillsboro through 2011, following an agreement that was reached Friday morning.
Following the agreement, Hillsboro Safety and Service Director Ralph Holt said in a letter to the townships' legal counsel that the city was "surprised" to learn that providing EMS through the end of the year would not result in a budget shortfall, even though Hillsboro Auditor Gary Lewis had reported that the city had the funds to continue the services, as contracted, through the end of the year.

Turner comments on president's report to Congress on Libya
“The president’s report to Congress is an attempt to evade congressional approval of military action in Libya. His response also fails to answer the questions I and many other members have been asking for months. We still do not know who the rebel forces are, what the plans are if the Gadahfi regime falls, and the time frame of our commitment to this conflict.
