Frustrated members of the Hannibal Board of Education could not agree to approve a budget for next school year. The budget failed, 4-3, in front of a standing-room-only audience of students and taxpayers. The board will have to enact a budget next week and it is likely to be the same budget they voted against Wednesday night.
The good news: 13 stores, liquor stores and bars said no.
The bad news: 4 said yes.
The city seized 862 West First St. in April, 2009 for unpaid property taxes. It’s a one-family home, 1,300 square feet, with three bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms.
The home is assessed at $62,000. It was listed for sale at $74,900. It sold for $79,000.
Police allege they stopped Jeffrey J. Bryant’s car for going 41 miles an hour in a 30 mile an hour zone on the Broadway bridge. In the car with him were an adult woman and a three month old child.
Hannibal turned 150 years old with a party, cake and declarations of loyalty to the tiny village.
513 people live in the village, according to the U.S. Census’s 2008 estimate. That’s not many more than lived there when the village was founded on April 7, 1860.
