Tuesday’s Clinton City Council meeting saw disagreement among members on how to handle repairs for the deteriorating U.S. Highway 66, with the council ultimately deciding to postpone action pending further investigation.
As of press time Wednesday, no additional candidates have filed for the City of Clinton municipal election. In the mayoral race, incumbent Mayor David Berrong and Chris Roland have both submitted their candidacy.
