The city of Lawrenceburg announced Thursday that it will have a truck at the city maintenance garage from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday to accept debris from this week's storm.

The collection site is available to any private citizen who lives within the city limits said Mayor Edwinna Baker.

Contractors generally have their own sites for the debris, but private citizens are welcome to bring downed trees and tree limbs to the garage, which is located on Highway 44 behind Capital Family Physicians.

UPDATED 3:30 P.M. THURSDAY — All normal distribution points for The Anderson News are now stocked with papers.

Delivery of this week's paper was delayed due to the paper's printing plant in Shelbyville losing power early Wednesday morning.

Some single copies were delivered to news stands later that day, but subscription copies could not be mailed until Thursday morning.

Renewing the county’s current health insurance policy would cost taxpayers an additional $80,000, Judge-Executive Steve Cornish announced at last Tuesday night’s Anderson County Fiscal Court meeting.

“It will go from $425 a month per employee to $531,” Cornish said. “That’s just about a 25 percent increase.”

The proposed increase comes about year after the county dropped its policy through the Kentucky Association of Counties and accepted a lower bid supplied by the Lawrenceburg-based Goodlett Group for Humana.
