- Last week’s front page story on the county commission meeting that included a brief on the amount of funding for Florida Wild Mammal Association gave the wrong amount. The commission voted 4-1 to give $8,500 to the group which cares for injured and orphaned animals.
• The On the Horizon calendar gave the wrong time for the county commission meetings. The meeting time for county commission meetings has been changed to 6 p.m. as of November.
We regret the errors.
