The week in reviewBy Times staff writer
© St. Petersburg Times, A look back at the week's top stories ARREST MADE IN ATTACK: Authorities have accused Dennis Burke, 48, of Homosassa of beating Linda Varone with a shovel and trying to shoot Mrs. Varone's husband, Frank. The suspect and victims were friends, and Burke often helped them with chores, neighbors said. COUNTY TAX RATE TO STAY PUT; SCHOOL RATE INCREASING: County staff unveiled a proposed budget that boosts the firefighter reimbursement to $10 per call, pays for opening a west Citrus senior center and still keeps the tax rate at 8.5553 mills for the third straight year. Separately, the School Board tentatively approved a 2.4 percent increase in its millage rate, from 8.571 mills to 8.78 mills. SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCY SIGNS CONTRACT: The Department of Children and Families has agreed to pay an Illinois company $5.2-million to oversee adoptions and work with at-risk families in Citrus, Hernando and surrounding counties. The contracts are with Central Baptist Family Services, a Chicago-based social service agency that now works in Illinois and Missouri.
