CLOVERDALE -- Clerk-Treasurer Cheryl Galloway reported that Cloverdale is ahead by $455,152.35 this year during the recent special meeting of the Cloverdale Town Council.

“With all of the funds combined, we’re ahead,” Clerk-Treasurer Galloway said. “We’re down from 2015, where were ahead by $8,374 more than what we have this year. But we spent $40,000 on that land. So I think we’re doing really well, and we’ll just keep on going forward.”

“Bravo,” Council Vice President Don Sublett responded. “Bravo.”

With that kind of money in the bank I think that it is time for another pay raise for the clerk and her husband. Heck while the town board is at it maybe they can put in a hitchin' post at the old town hall for all of the horses. They just need to make sure that the fire department doesn't get any money.

Cloverdale appointing a greencastle resident to the bureau board. Haha. Who resigned and did they post an ad looking for new prospects like the commissioners did. Oh wait a minute.....Baird is a horse person. Now I get it. Horse park...bureau...my guess is the bureau will be footing some of the bill for this new horse park in our our wonderful little town. Thanks..it will save the town some money.

No wonder the Town is in the black thanks to all us that have to pay the outrageous water bills every month. But there is no money to help out the Fire Department I guess the fires can put themselves out and I bet there will be a pay raise for Cheryl and Wayne in the near future. Now if they would just get rid of the Attorney they could add a bunch more money to their funds.
