    In this September 20th edition of the ShortCut;

    The City of Aspermont is reallocating funds to cover its portion of an estimated $110,000 owed to the IRS for past unpaid taxes related to EMS services, leading to the postponement of a second deputy’s salary in the sheriff's budget. The city managed to balance its water and sewer budget by delaying equipment purchases, but ongoing IRS issues may impact future financial planning.

    Rotan officials reviewed the 2023 financial report, noting strong overall revenues of $823,000, however, the water and sewer operations incurred significant losses. Concerns remain about the sustainability of these operations, despite ongoing efforts to replace aging water lines.

    And Aspermont ISD's Board of Trustees has approved a new policy allowing selected school staff to carry firearms as part of a Guardian Program aimed at enhancing school safety. The program includes extensive training and psychological evaluations, with multiple staff members currently in training to respond to potential active shooter situations.

    Stay tuned till the end for a sneak peek at this week's editorial and sports scores.
