Pottawatomie County commissioners have delayed designating an official county newspaper for the publishing of meeting agendas and minutes.
In the past, the county rotated between some of the county’s small publications but has since used the Wamego Times as its designated paper. A motion by Commission Chair Greg Riat during Monday’s Board of County Commissioners meeting, to go back to a rotation failed. It would have designated the Onaga Herald as the official county paper in 2021, rotating back to the Times in 2022.
