County holds line on 2009 budgets for extensions and 4-H
Finney County commissioners kept funding for Extension and 4-H at 2008 levels, denying a Mayo motion to restore about 100000 dollars. The public hearing drew 20 plus supporters led by Extension and 4-H families. Nichols warned of tighter transit center and Meals on Wheels costs but accepted the elected panel will determine how to cover the cuts.
