Good morning.
It’s 7:15 a.m. Friday and the staff at The Herald Bulletin is getting down to work. We will pursue news throughout the day and will have frequent updates here on our Web site.
For Saturday, we examine per-pupil expenditures for Anderson schools when compared to Muncie, Kokomo and other local districts. And former Madison County Prosecutor Rodney Cummings could be coming back as special prosecutor in the John Neal gambling ring case.
On Sunday, rookie mayors Kris Ockomon of Anderson and Jack Woods of Alexandria talk about their first years in office. Plus, the consequences of dissolving township government as prescribed in the Kernan-Shepard report.
Look for those stories and more in The Herald Bulletin and online at www.theheraldbulletin.com
We want to hear what you think. Leave your reader comments online or feel free to contact us with your news tip at (765) 640-4800 or via e-mail (newsroom@heraldbulletin.com).
Check back often as we will continuously update this Web site with the latest local, statewide and national breaking news.
