Annual per diem compensation for justices of the peace in Arkansas counties of 200,000 or more people cannot exceed $13,319, according to state law. Pulaski County justices of the peace budgeted no more than $173,250 for 15 justices of the peace -- averaging $11,550 per justice -- for pay in 2015. The maximum per diem allowed by state law was incorrectly reported in articles published Wednesday, May 14 and May 27. Also, Wednesday's article failed to make clear that the Pulaski County Quorum Court approved an ordinance Tuesday that established justice of the peace compensation into county code for the first time. In December, justices of the peace approved 4 percent raises for all county employees, including elected officials, for 2015. Three justices of the peace opted out of that pay raise in January.

Darrell Edman and Dona Towsley received a marriage license in 1971. Their license information was erroneously provided by the Pulaski County circuit/county clerk's office for the list of marriage licenses published in the July 15 Daily Record.
