Linn County budget cuts shrink grants and raises proposed
Linn County supervisors move to adopt a fiscal 2025 budget cutting community grant programs and discretionary items to offset state tax reform tolls while approving pay increases for elected officials and staff. The plan increases the countywide levy to 6.07 from 5.96 and keeps a 25 percent general fund reserve with a total revenue budget of 157.6 million. Local option sales tax funds road construction and rural relief, with property valuations rising about 19 percent to 25.5 billion and jailinmate revenue dropping as federal housing ends.
