We were wrong

Information published on page A1 and A7 on Thursday incorrectly listed the day for a special meeting at which the Greenville City Council is scheduled to pick an interim mayor. The meeting is Thursday, July 6.

A Thursday A1 story about a health care protest incorrectly attributed a quote. Protestor Lisa Green said the Affordable Care Act allowed her cover the cost of the inhalers, not Burgundy Hines.
