Budget reverses mill levy raise in Finney County
Finney County commissioners review 2005 budget requests and cut some, proposing a 36.09 mill levy. Oil and gas values soar 119 percent to 144.14 million, boosting assessed valuations and easing the levy back toward 2003 levels. A $561,000 annual void from state revenue shifts remains a backdrop to the tax picture.
