If you paid your first half by Dec. 20, your second half payments may be paid online at http:// www.kansas.gov/propertytax or by mailing the payment to Labette County Treasurer, P.O. Box 388, Oswego, KS, 67356. Mailing them on Saturday, May 10, is not considered late, as the treasurer accepts the postmark date.

Correction
A story published in Tuesday’s edition on the county commission meeting contained an error. Commissioners approved on a 2-1 vote a resolution to ban the installation of certain solar panels and arrays from the Xinjiang region of China because of concerns that forced labor was involved in the manufacturing process.
