Scott warns that a zero based budget for Aiken County will be tighter due to state cuts. He cites reduced staff, lost programs like teen companion and able bodied adult work, and 10 to 15 permanent positions downsized as Medicare shifts agency duties. The state DSS faces about 500 job losses next year, with $88 million in state funds legally required to be spent on specific programs.
