Business is still being taken care of at the committee level; there just wasn’t enough business at the board level to have the full board meet. The next board meeting will be Tuesday, March 10 at 7:00 pm. The agenda will be posted on the Green County website, as are committee meetings, agendas and minutes.
Before the next board meeting is the first election day of 2020. Tuesday, Feb. 18 is the February 2020 Primary, which is the primary for non-partisan offices. This election will narrow down the candidates for Justice of the Supreme Court for the April election.
