Township, city tax office schedules
The Coal Township Tax Office will be closed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and will reopen Thursday.
The Shamokin Tax Office will be closed Monday only. (A report in Friday's edition incorrectly stated the office would also be closed Tuesday and Wednesday. The Shamokin Tax Office will be open on those days.)
Official count continues Tuesday
SUNBURY - The official count of votes cast in the primary for magisterial district judge in the Milton area confirmed Friday that Mike Diehl won the Democratic nomination by three votes over Lisa A. Riley. Diehl was also nominated on the Republican ticket.
Alisha Herb, Northumberland County director of elections, said that because of that close judge race, the official count concentrated first on the 108th legislative district. The official count of the vote in the 107th district (the Shamokin-Mount Carmel area) will take place Tuesday.
