Posted: December 21, 2012 - 4:17pm

Here's a look at what our reporters are working on for Saturday's edition: * A fire raged on Bloomsburg's West Street on Friday afternoon. Read the complete story here. * Columbia County taxpayers face a larger property tax hike in 2013 than expected - a nearly 24 percent jump rather than 18 percent. The county commissioners say the larger hike is needed because the state isn't providing enough cash to support services it requires. Read the story here. * The state Department of Community and Economic Development is questioning how Downtown Bloomsburg spent a $60,000 grant to improve the look of Main Street storefronts. It has requested documentation and said DCED won't provide the town with more grant money until the paperwork is straightened out. (SATURDAY UPDATE: This story will appear in a future edition.)
