Upcoming election

Ortley will be having its first town election in many years on Tuesday, April 12, as two candidates have filed for the trustee position currently held by Darlene Olson. Olson is running for re-election, and her opponent is Barbara Witte.

Ortley voters will also be voting on a $7 million bond issue to build a new jail for Roberts County with a juvenile detention center. The current 32-cell jail was built in 1934.

In the weeks until the election, the Ortley Optic will bring you interviews with the candidates as well as more details on the bond issue. Detailed coverage of the bond issue may also be found at the Sisseton Courier's website at www.sissetoncourier.com.
