Aiken County budget hike aims at regional landfill costs
The Aiken County Council proposed Fiscal 1999 budget includes a 5 mill tax increase to fund regional landfill operations shared with eight surrounding counties. The increase would raise the total levy to 63.5 mills, costing about $9.80 more yearly for a $50,000 home, and supports $476 million in spending against a $47.2 million revenue forecast, with the deficit to be corrected before passage.
