 Hodgenville City Hall, known also as the Civic Center, became more “visitor friendly” last week with the addition of a tourism desk.

 The Kentucky Department of Revenue reminds everyone that income taxes are due Monday, April 15. New this year is “Where’s My Refund,” an online resource that allows taxpayers to check the status of their 2012 individual income tax refund.

Taxpayers can log on to www.revenue.ky.gov and click on Where’s My Refund to obtain the most current and up-to-date information about their 2012 refund. A primary social security number and the exact amount of the refund are needed to retrieve this information.

 LaRue County Judge-executive Tommy Turner reported to LaRue County Fiscal Court that he has reached a tentative agreement with an adjoining county to provide a shelter for LaRue’s stray animals.

Speaking to magistrates meeting at the courthouse in Hodgenville March 12, Turner declined to name the county because of no official agreement having been signed, but said he would disclose that name at the court’s next meeting March 27 when the contract can be finalized.

 Several Hodgenville City Council members had money on their minds at Monday’s meeting.
