Budget County hearing on levy changes and raises
Budget County approved a 12 cent rise in the property tax levy to 6.08 per thousand, adding about 28 dollars yearly on a 200000 home. Supervisors split 4 to 1 on a 1 percent budget cut call, with Oleson urging broader across the board cuts while Houser argued the levy increase is not a tax hike due to prior year adjustments. The county, facing a funding shortfall tied to fewer federal jail inmates, froze pay for top officials despite sheriff and treasurer objections.
