The news continues to be good on the sales tax front. Concordia's receipts for February (January transactions) was $139,948.66. We received $130,776.14 in January 2006. The collections year to date are $17,526.51 more in 2007 than in 2006.
Yes, business is good in Concordia! Thank you for supporting our local businesses.
Also, Tuesday is primary election day for the City Commission and the Community College. Remember to vote.

Elections
Tuesday is the primary election for both the City Commission (two seats) and Cloud County Community College (three seats).
The City primary election will rduce the candidates from six to four. The Community College primary will reduce their field down to six.
Voting is an important right that we as American's are not regarding as important any more. As a student of the political process, I was impressed by Iraqi voters braving personal danger to vote.
How would you justify not voting to an Iraqi voter?
