State's Help for Counties to Be Knifed
Atlanta reports that most counties drawing more from the state treasury than they pay in will lose funds in the last quarter of the year. Revenue is behind appropriations for 1932 with tax payments down. A cut of at least 1 percent is planned, plus a further 14 percent reduction for some agencies. Hired staff face about 24 percent overall cuts, while fixed salaries resist voluntary cuts. Public schools and other agencies face varied furloughs, but some commissions receive full funding.
