Correction

An article from Thursday’s Junction City Council meeting regarding the purchase of fire gear incorrectly stated that the fire department will be using it’s entire $10,000 budget, along with it’s state aid funding of $10,500. The department will actually be using the full state aid funding of $10,500 and a portion of it’s $10,000 budget, an amount that has not yet been determined.
