From Dubois County

Hey Reader,

Sorry, no photo today.

The commissioners are moving forward with some type of zoning ordinance, but it's important to understand that creating an ordinance and passing it are two different things.

Also, yesterday, we wrote about the proposed income tax increase. We tried to make that clear in the story, but this is a recommendation and it was required by the state. All counties and qualifying cities are supposed to submit something by Dec. 1. As stated in the story, that increase, if it moves forward, wouldn't happen until 2028.

Have a great day.

From Dubois County with love.

Matthew and Amy Crane
