Commission meeting limited to regular business

FAYETTE TOWNSHIP — The Special Needs Youth Sportsmen annual spring fishing event saw a strong turnout on June 3, Lawrence County Commissioner Mike Finley said.

Finley, who serves on the SPYS board, gave a summary of the day during commissioner’s reports at the end of this week’s meeting of the commission on Tuesday.

Finley said 124 came to the event, which he said was “one short of our all-time record.”

Commissioner DeAnna Holliday, who attended the event, also said it had “a great turnout.”
