In the story headlined Supervisors hear pleas to support wage enhancement fund in this week's Herald, Mayor Dennis Koenig was quoted as saying "Why would you take (the $32,000) and put it to this use." The quote should have read, 'Why wouldn't you take the $32,000 and put it to this use." The Postville Herald apologizes for this error.
