LINESVILLE - By a 4-1 vote Linesville Borough Council voted to cancel its subscription to the Community News effective immediately and demand return of the balance of the subscription within 10 days when council met Tuesday evening.

Present at roll call of the meeting were Ron Harper, Sharon Kobel, Kevin McGrath, Ron Vennare, Susan Lewandowski and Pete Fizer. Absent was Tom McGrath.

The vote came after Fizer noted he had been reading the local paper and noted a individual didn’t sign a comment run in the I Say, You Say, We Say section.

He said articles in the paper are designed to infuriate.

Conneaut School directors reviewed a proposed budget at their work session on May 5, that showed several changes from the one reviewed back in February, but with little change in that real estate taxes are proposed to increase by 1.97 mills, the limit allowed under State Act 1.

The school district’s tentative budget will be adopted at the board meeting to be held Wednesday, with a final budget to be approved in June after 30 days of advertising.

There are no new teaching positions in the budget and it is possible the teaching staff could be reduced by two, if kindergarten projections hold true based on current sign ups.
