County valuation dips as budget talks begin
Lee County commissioners opened talks on a preliminary 2011 budget and cuts to some departments and outside agencies. They aim to keep the mill levy near last year's 37.319 rate, which raised 58.1 million. Chairman Cliff Mayo urged frugality and building cash reserves, noting a possible half mill levy increase if needed for 2012. Valuations total about 452 million, down from 498 million in 2009, driven largely by oil and natural gas.
