Pulaski County Human Services will be able to proceed with the purchase of a new van, following action by the county council last week. After a couple months of discussion, the council voted last week to contribute $6,894 from the County Economic Development Income Tax Fund. That, along with a $200 private donation, will cover the local share of the funding, while 80 percent of the cost will be covered by grant funds.
Council member Alex Haschel opposed the funding measure.
