Moore Senator Moore criticizes inflation factor in city budgets
Moore called the inflation factor immoral and illegal and urged it be stripped from the measure. City Manager Roland Windham says the 7 percent increase funds expanded services and public safety and would not change the budget. County Administrator W Scott Barnes notes the inflation rise could be counted as new services and adds that a separate $200000 impact is possible. Barnes's budget failed on first reading and will be revised for Tuesday’s council meeting as Sen Moore plans a press conference at 10 a.m. in Aiken County Council chambers.
