  • Court balks at recommended name for recreation park

    Calling it “a good faith effort,” Harrison County magistrates voted to give $500 to the Harrison County Tomorrow recreation development committee to be used toward a sign at the new park.

    Donna Williams, representing the committee, presented a proposal that was the result of a survey to name the park.

    She told members of the fiscal court that 10 names appeared on the survey and that those who responded to the survey chose “Veterans’ Park.”

    Magistrate Steve Moses said he was not in favor of the name.

    I did not vote for him because of his lack of moral values. On the horror of abortion, early term or partial birth, his voting record is documented. He served in Illinois, Check it out. I did.
