Quote of note
“Two years ago, before we had all the financial difficulties from the legislation not coming through for us, ... one of the biggest things on our plate that was going to come due soon were these chillers, so I’m happy to see that it’s here, we’re taking care of it, and we have the money to do it,” board trustee Jeff Larson said at the workshop.
