Panel balks at evidence storage groundwork
Several Shawano County supervisors want to see work started on an evidence storage facility, even if it’s just erecting a fence and laying gravel around the proposed site. Supervisor Bert Huntington told his colleagues on the Public Safety Committee this week that he and three other supervisors — Ron Kupper, Sandy Steinke and Arlyn Tober — have toured the grounds behind the Huber Work Release Center with Sheriff’s Department officials to see what
