|
Submitted: 06/19/2013 |

MERRILL - We want our city officials to save money and resources where they can.
In Merrill, the city council is trying to do that with their municipal court.
The new plan means if you get a speeding ticket or citation for disorderly conduct in tomahawk, you'd have to go to court in Merrill.
The timetable is quicker for getting in and out of the municipal court than getting through Lincoln County Circuit Court.
The discussion came up when Merrill's city staff members decided they need to make a decision whether to continue funding the court.
