Butler Eagle

This family-run newspaper, known for its conservative values, started back in 1903 when the Butler County Observer (which began as the Evans City Times) combined with the original Butler Eagle. The Wise family has owned the newspaper since it first began. The elegant art deco office building that houses the Eagle was built in 1924 and is still in use today. In 2003, the printing operations relocated to a modern facility in the Island area of Butler.

Funding flatline Tracy Veri, executive director of the Victim’s Outreach Intervention Center, said 90% of the clients the agency, also known as VOICe, serves are children and youth — a demographic that may need specialized counselors and therapists. However, state funding for rape crisis centers has been stagnant at $11.9 million per year since 2020, which Veri said has hurt the agency’s chances of hiring an additional counselor to add to its three currently on staff.
