I made a mistake last week regarding voting for the courthouse. Like I said last week, we definitely need a new courthouse. We needed it 10 years ago and we need it even more now. Where I messed up was on the non-binding referendum for the courthouse locations. The non-binding referendum that gets the most votes for the courthouse location will be the courthouse location. You can vote for all three locations – not advisable – or you can vote for just two of the locations if you are unsure. You can also vote no for the courthouse – not advisable – and still pick a location. Very confusing – I know. My No. 1 vote is to keep it in Downtown Milton. My second choice is east Milton. Regardless, we need the courthouse. We have more information in this issue on the vote for the courthouse.

Larry Rolison knows exactly who the customers at his new restaurant, “Ye Olde Brothers Brewery,” will be. They will have an affinity for craft beer and great food.
