Mayor Winnecke says public health is #1 priority

Story by Rick Allen.

Mayor Lloyd Winnecke  says his first priority in the new year is public health.

Winnecke’s remarks came in his 2021 Lunch With The Mayor address to the Southwest Indiana Chamber. He also addressed the city’s loss of revenue because of the pandemic.

That reduction meant the city had to delay purchases, reprioritize spending and reduce personnel . This impacted 16 city employees, including one from the Mayor’s Office.
