County to offer free electrical permits
Residents wanting electrical work performed at their homes might not have to pay for a permit for the work after all.
Coy Neat, the county's electrical inspector, currently charges $20 to issue an electrical permit and $55 for an inspection.
But at last Tuesday's regular Taylor County Fiscal Court meeting, magistrates took the first step in making the permits free.

County fire department offered free land
Though they have been offered the land for free, they say it's not the best place for a fire substation.
Last October, Taylor County Fire & Rescue officials told county officials that they don't have enough room and asked for help to solve the problem. Since then, magistrates have discussed the possible purchase of land for a fire station or substation.
On Tuesday, Taylor County Judge/Executive Eddie Rogers told magistrates that the county has been offered - for free - five acres of land in Heartland Commerce and Technology Park.

City should rethink its new social media policy
The way social media has taken over society today, it’s understandable that an organization like the city of Campbellsville would feel the need to have a policy related to its use by employees. However, we believe the policy could have been handled much differently.

Reader not pleased with obituary policy
When my father passed away, the CKNJ charged $75 for an obituary and picture. The Columbia and Greensburg papers were free. I called the CKNJ to put an “in memory” picture of my father in the paper, and was told it would be $20 to $30.
This got me curious on charges since my nephew married and his announcement was free. I called the CKNJ and it’s also free to put a wedding picture and the write up on the wedding.

Oh yeah, baby, free toothpaste
Submitted by Saving Made Simple on Tue, 08/09/2011 - 4:34pm Sunday evening I noticed a Facebook friend's post about the free toothpaste she picked up at Kroger. It was late, Kroger was closed but I was determined I would not miss out on the toothpaste deal this time. Last time I procrastinated and there were none to be had and my coupons were expiring too soon for a raincheck to help.
