Tamara was a 2014 graduate of Clinton High School. She was employed as a sales representative with Spectrum Cable. She had also worked for Golden Valley Memorial Hospital.

Light turnout for town hall meeting

Roughly 1% of Butler residents were in attendance for the town hall meeting last night. The forum, which lasted about two hours, covered a variety of topics including a proposed 1 percent sales tax, fixing infrastructure, new businesses, wages, streets, and much more.

A hearty thank you to those who attended; for those who didn't, the city council meets at 7 pm tonight at city hall.

Editor's note- It's saddening that only about 40 people out of a population of about 4,000 took the time to attend this meeting. Yes, we understand you might have a lot going on; so if you simply couldn't attend for other reasons, just remember the council meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month and everyone is highly encouraged to attend.
