Sheridan County’s Commissioners approved, on a split vote, the creation of a Semiquincentennial Committee that will help in the celebration of the country’s 250^th birthday celebration this year.

The commission had failed to pass the proposal at an earlier meeting on a tie vote because of an absence on the commission, and Commissioner Christi Haswell asked for the proposal to be placed on Tuesday’s agenda because all commissioners were present.

Commissioners Mike Arzy and Holly Jennings said they were opposed to spending the public’s tax dollars for the celebration and would be voting against the resolution.

Commissioner Nick Siddle explained that the funds have already been allocated for each county by the state for the celebration.

Jennings reminded the commission that the money, regardless of where it is coming from, is still public tax dollars being spent.

The commission then voted to approve creating the committee on a split vote with commissioners Arzy and Jennings voting against.
