Corrections
Last updated September 29, 2026
We will get things wrong. A local paper that never runs a correction is not careful, it is just not telling you. Here is every error we have published.
The policy
When we publish an error, we correct it in the next issue. The correction states what we originally said as well as what was actually true, so you can see the shape of the mistake. We do not quietly edit the archive and move on.
Corrections run in the body of the issue, not appended somewhere you would have to go looking for them. If the error was in a subject line, the correction says so.
What counts
A correction is for a factual error: a wrong number, a wrong name, a wrong date, a vote reported backwards, a business placed on the wrong road.
An update is different. If a story was accurate when it ran and the situation later changed, that is an update, and it does not mean we were wrong the first time. Disagreement is a third thing again. If you think our framing was unfair rather than inaccurate, tell us anyway.
Telling us
Email tips@readroundabout.com. Say which issue or page, what we said, and what it should say. If you have the source that shows it, include that and this goes much faster. It reaches the publisher directly. There is no form and no ticket queue in between.

Where Cambridge softball played St. Pius X
What we said: Our Oct. 1 issue said Cambridge softball would host St. Pius X that night.
What was true: The game was at St. Pius X. Cambridge won 4-0.
-
When Flock's approval rule began
What we said: Our Sept. 20 issue said Flock's call for elected officials to approve longer storage of license plate data came in August 2026, after Milton's change.
What was true: That requirement was in Flock's public evidence policy by April 2025, months before Milton moved to a year of storage in October 2025. Flock did cut its default period to seven days in August 2026.
-
What the police said about a Council vote
What we said: Our Sept. 20 issue's summary said the police told us the year of storage was approved without a Council vote.
What was true: The department did not say that. It said the chief and the city manager authorized the change, that the change appears in the city's published budget book, and that it can't recall whether it was specifically discussed at a Council meeting.
-
Alternative tax rates on Sept. 21
What we said: Our Sept. 22 issue said no alternative tax rates were shown at the Sept. 21 Council meeting.
What was true: The meeting packet laid out a lower rate, 4.129 mills, beside the advertised 4.193, and staff walked Council through it in the budget hearing that followed the rate's first reading.
-
Where the police answers are posted
What we said: Tuesday's and Thursday's issues said the police department's written answers to us were posted in full with our first camera story.
What was true: They are not in that story. The department's Sept. 11 answers about the cameras are posted in full on our camera map page. Its later answers are quoted in our issues but have not been posted in full.
-
Scouts BSA
What we said: Tuesday's issue said a Milton student is working through "the Boy Scouts" to get his bluebird boxes installed.
What was true: The troop-level program has been Scouts BSA since 2019, the national organization is Scouting America, and girls have been in both Scouts BSA and Cub Scouts that whole time. A Milton troop committee chair wrote in to tell us, and he was right.
-
Millage vote date
What we said: Sunday's issue said the budget adoption and the Council's vote on Milton's 2026 millage rate were both on September 21.
What was true: Only the budget adoption is. The millage rate gets its first presentation that night, and the Council votes on it October 5, on the schedule staff laid out at the September 14 work session.
-
Council meeting day
What we said: Thursday's issue said the Council met Tuesday.
What was true: It met Wednesday, September 9, on the holiday week's schedule. Everything we reported from that meeting happened on Wednesday.
-
Brendan Keefe's vehicle
What we said: Thursday's issue said Brendan Keefe was in a marked press van when Milton police stopped him.
What was true: He was not. Milton police say he was driving a silver, unmarked SUV. Atlanta News First's own account says he had a press placard on the dashboard and wore a station hat and a high-visibility vest.
-
Development Authority swearing-in
What we said: Thursday's issue said all seven new Development Authority directors were sworn in on the spot.
What was true: Six were. Roger Lusby was traveling, the Mayor said, and will be sworn in later.
-
L'Antoinette's regular menu
What we said: Tuesday's Restaurant Week piece said the only fish on L'Antoinette's regular menu is a $56 halibut.
What was true: The menu also lists Dover sole meuniere at $69 and North Atlantic salmon at $36. A reader caught it the same morning. The seared redfish on its Restaurant Week menu is still a dish it does not otherwise serve.
-
Softball first pitch
What we said: Tuesday's issue said Milton hosted Cambridge in softball at 6:15.
What was true: First pitch was 6:45.
-
Milton Restaurant Week dates
What we said: Our previous two issues said Milton Restaurant Week runs September 8 to 14.
What was true: It runs September 14 to 20. The city's own page carried the wrong dates when we pulled the lineup and the city caught it the same morning. Our guide was corrected. The fifteen restaurants and their prices were unaffected.
-
All Nashville Roadshow listing
What we said: Thursday's issue listed Friday's All Nashville Roadshow as a free event inside the Hyde Brewing taproom.
What was true: Two things were wrong. The show was ticketed, and it was held on the new outdoor green beside Hyde Brewing rather than in the taproom. Both are part of Market District Crabapple. We corrected the events page. A reader caught this one.
-
Crabapple Road and Green Road signal
What we said: We said twice that the new signal at Crabapple Road and Green Road would switch on July 30.
What was true: It did not. The city cited unexpected problems with traffic detection, and GDOT moved activation to August 12.
-
Court hearing day of week
What we said: Tuesday's issue described the August 4 court hearing as happening on a Monday.
What was true: August 4 was a Tuesday. The Council meeting listed for Monday, August 3 was correct.
-
City budget adoption
What we said: Thursday's issue said the budget was up for adoption Monday.
What was true: It was not. Monday began the conversation, with further budget sessions, public input, and the millage-rate vote following over the next several months.
-
House District 47 primary result
What we said: We reported that Miller won the HD47 primary outright with 50.7 percent. That was drawn from incomplete tabulations across the district's two counties.
What was true: The full count put Miller at 49.26 percent, short of the threshold, sending the race to a June 16 runoff with Cochran. This was our most consequential error to date.
The full rules we hold ourselves to: editorial standards.
