Settlement News

I've been appointed to the Reynolds County Educational Enrichment Fund Board of Directors by DNR and the Attorney General. This fund is part of the settlement between the state and Ameren. Ameren provided $3 million for this fund. The first meeting of the nine board members will be March 14 at 5pm at the Lesterville School. At the same time will be the first meeting of the Taum Sauk Fund board. This group will be concerned with tourism and economic development. They have $7 million of Ameren's settlement to fund their projects. I'll keep you up to date on the Educational Enrichment activities as we go along.
