County faces deficit budget for 1976 despite cost pressures
Judge Nelson notes rising costs from minimum wage, fuel, utilities, and construction. He favors a deficit budget over tax hikes and warns the court may overspend without trimming. Chambers County has higher per capita spending and may cut services or abandon planned recreational projects if residents desire. Commissioners Courtney and Desormeaux remain hopeful despite the deficit approval.
