The 2013 Miami County Fair — fared well this year, according to Miami County Fair Board President Mike Jess. Jess said the weather was spot on and the community flocked to the County Road 25-A gates to support the annual week-long event.

“Overall things went pretty good,” he said. “There were a few glitches here and there, but we got them straightened out and things went really well.” He said attendance was only at 97 percent of the record-breaking 115,000 visitors from 2012. But still up from the three previous years — so fair board members are still happy. “We had a great Monday,

Tuesday and Wednesday this year, but a slow Thursday,” he said. The weather cooperated, evening getting a little chilly at times, Jess admitted. “You couldn’t have asked for better weather,” he said.

An internal audit provided by Snowden to The Washington Post shows the agency has repeatedly broken privacy rules or exceeded its legal authority every year since Congress granted it broad new powers in 2008. In one of the documents, agency personnel are instructed to remove details and substitute more generic language in reports to the Justice Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence — reports used as the basis for informing Congress. Obama has repeatedly said that Congress was thoroughly briefed on the programs revealed by Snowden in June, but some senior lawmakers said they had been unaware of the NSA audit until they read the news on Friday.
