In Scott City the local option budget for Scott County USD 466 was narrowly approved by 787 to 786 after provisional ballots, prompting a full recount of all 1,647 ballots Monday morning as officials awaited final results.

In 10 Kansas counties and 14 communities 2005 budgets reflect higher property values but mixed mill levies. Of 24 budgets, 12 approved, 8 increased, 2 kept the same, 14 with decreased levies. Ingalls alone raises from 21.825 to 25 mills, boosting property tax on a $100,000 home from 251 to 288 dollars. See Finance, Page AS.
