NEWBURGH, IN (WFIE)- Authorities are back from some active shooter training in New England and you could say their teachers have experience.

They were there when the bombs went off at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Police Chief Brett Sprinkle, and Sgt. Eric Mitchell are both from Newburgh and the two learned a lot while they were in New Hampshire from some of the best in the business. Now, they want to pass their knowledge onto the community.

NEWBURGH, IN (WFIE)- Commissioners will discuss increasing the wheel surtax in Warrick County.

What does this mean for taxpayers?

"That money would come in and help us with roads and sidewalks and fixing our streets," says Lori Buehlman, Newburgh Town Manager.

Buehlman says the town needs as much road repair funding as it can get.

"Property tax caps back in 2008 and has limited dollars coming into small towns," says Buehlman. "We always have a list of streets that need attention."

Warrick County is getting a magistrate, thanks to passage of new legislation.

Warrick County Publishing reports that the bill allows the three county judges to jointly appoint a magistrate to help with certain cases.

A magistrate has essentially the same duties as a judge, but in some cases, the judge would need to approve some actions performed by the magistrate.
