On December 5, the Clay-Chalkville Cougars Football team won the state championship for the sixth time, setting in motion a chain of events that would test new Mayor Jane Anderton's commitment to fiscal responsibility and adherence to state law while pitting her against long time city employee Ronnie Dixon and exposing that the process used by Dixon and the City of Clay for years may not have followed law.

With six open mayoral seats and six incumbents defeated, major changes are expected in Jefferson County this week when most of the new mayors are sworn in on November 3.

Jane Anderton, a longtime resident and first-time candidate, defeated incumbent Mayor Charles Webster to be elected as the next mayor for the City of Clay. 

Since November 2022, the city of Clay has continued to renew its grocery tax cut of 2%. Locals are enjoying the break, the city is making moves to ensure it is able to continue giving the break and state lawmakers are taking notes.

The city of Clay has decided to cut the local grocery tax in half, to help residents during a financially challenging time. Now, state lawmakers are applauding the city for their efforts, following failed attempts to kill the state grocery tax.
