County weighs tax shifts amid 40 percent base hit
Finney County is examining a governor proposed tax change that could shift 40 percent of the county budget away from commercial personal property taxes to residents and farms. Commissioner Roop warns oil and gas counties face budget strain, while Doll supports cuts if revenue falls. The board approves sending a letter to Governor Sebelius and weighs highway 50 improvements to attract Conestoga Energy Partners and an ethanol plant, plus a 2006 copy paper bid and local swearing in of Larry Jones.
