Last week Marshall County Commissioner Kevin Overmyer appeared before the County Council to discuss a joint resolution to apply extra funds from the Special Local Income Tax (LIT) intended to pay the jail bond to help fund jail operations.
Legislation says when the jail bond is paid off any excess funds that have been collected should be applied to the Highway Department. Overmyer said they have been talking with legislators and the joint resolution will show support from both the commissioners and council. They will be asking the general assembly to clarify that after the bond is paid the excess proceeds from the Special LIT can be applied to operations at the Jail.
