By Blake Spurney NEWTON — David Yoder will be stepping down at the end of the year as the longest serving county attorney in Harvey County history. Yoder said what he’d miss most about the job was serving his community and the people with whom he worked. “I’ve always believed in public service, and I’m really going to miss getting up every day and coming to work and hopefully doing my part to make the community a better place and a safer place,” he said.
