Following up on a promise he made during his candidate interviews with the Spencer Magnet, Elk Creek Magistrate Jerry Davis made a request of County Attorney Ruth Hollan to draft an ordinance to separate the city and county planning and zoning departments during the Spencer County Fiscal Court’s most recent meeting.

Spencer County Fiscal Court Magistrates were informed for the first time of a number of damaged pieces of county property, including damage to the coroner’s vehicle caused by a three vehicle accident which occurred over a week and a half ago.

Spencer County Schools were the target of yet another bomb threat last week, this time at Spencer County Middle School. Arrests have been made in connection with the recent threats, but little information is being released about the alleged perpetrators.
According to Taylorsville Police, “Taylorsville Police have taken two students into custody for bomb threats at schools in the Spencer County School District. Two cases remain open and are still being investigated. We hope to close those very soon.”
