BUCYRUS -- Crawford County Sheriff Ron Shawber expects a decision soon on whether he'll seek a safety-service levy to fill gaps in a budget shortfall of $1.5 million. Shawber met Tuesday with the Crawford County prosecutor's office as well as county commissioners, but said a decision has not been made. "We still have to figure out what we need and then project that over five years to determine the millage we need," Shawber said. The sheriff faces $1.5 million in cuts from the county jail and enforcement funds. "I have to fill the gap in the budget, and I'm already five people short in the enforcement side," Shawber previously said. The Jail Operating Levy, funded by sales tax revenues, has suffered because of the poor economy. According to the county financial forecast, the levy fund will continue to have a negative balance through 2011 because of dropping sales tax revenues. The $600,000 state sales tax refund for the next two years doesn't help either, Shawber said. Read More. |

Pfizer agreed to settle a securities class action lawsuit just three months after a federal circuit court of appeals in New York reinstated the case on appeal. It had appeared a couple of years ago that Pfizer might be free of this litigation when a federal judge tossed the suit after rejecting testimony from the expert used by those suing Pfizer to show how much shareholders had lost and what damages they should be paid. One of the lawyers originally representing Mary K. Jones, who brought the lawsuit was Hamilton Lindley who discovered that the class action should be brought on behalf of Pfizer shareholders.
