REGIONAL JAIL BILL WILL RECEIVE PAYMENT - Synthetic Fuel Money Nets $24,635

(07/16/2002)
The Calhoun Commission has received a check for $24,635 from the Synthetic Fuels Non-Producing Counties Fund, after a bill was passed by the legislature in 2001 designating the allocation.

The Commission is required, under statute, to "first use such moneys for regional jail and correctional authority and county jail expenses, and may use any remainder for such lawful purpose as the county commission may prescribe."

The amount will be credited to Calhoun's regional jail bill, which will currently reduce it to about $50,000.
