GCCC trustees mull 2 mill drop in budget plan
Garden City Community College trustees approved a budget for publication showing a 2 mill decrease from 21.527 to 19.5 mills amid a Saturday meeting and budget retreat. If approved, property tax on a 100000 home in Finney County could fall about 23 dollars next year from 247 to 224, with the Front Door Project on a Sept. 21 election likely to seek public support. The change stems partly from oil and gas valuations rising by nearly 80 million this year.
