Topics getting the most attention in Warren County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Child Advocacy Center funding model
The CAC, which interviews child abuse victims and provides mental health services, wants the county to fund it like any other department instead of relying on grants and fundraisers. It serves a record number of kids and the board seems likely to say yes at budget time.
Drug task force moves under Sheriff's Office
Warren County's drug task force is dissolving its council of governments and will now be run by the Sheriff's Office under an MOU. The sheriff says it saves money, cuts audit fees, and gives the county more control; Commissioner Jones abstained because she felt rushed into a long-term commitment without time to research it.
