St. George effort nearly a decade old
By KELLY P. KISSEL | Metro editor Many early backers of St. George said they wanted a new school district for their kids to attend. Now they're hoping a new city is in place to benefit their grandchildren. The battle for St. George started nine years ago. We're likely at least a couple years away from having a new city, and that's if the courts say it's OK to create one. More problems in the state's Children and Family Services Division today. A foster parent has been accused of raping a child in his care. This follows a fentanyl-related death earlier this week. Lightning strike near the White House kills 2. Two others were injured as bad weather raked the area. |
