We would like to congratulate the Butler County Commission on awarding the contract for a new heating/cooling system at the courthouse.

We're sure the employees welcomed the news like we did.

They have been great under some difficult conditions.

It appears that the Commission is working now under a "Big Picture" mentality.

They had the chance to simply replace the old pipes and use the old system but chose to replace the system completely.

Yes, it is a bit more than the other, but at least we know that this type of problem should not come up again for some time.

Sometimes that is all it takes.

Spend a little extra, and unforeseen problems could vanish as well.

To the courthouse employees we say, "Hang on, help is on the way."
