ConAgra appeal shapes Finney County budget outlook
Finney County commissioners defended a January decision to accept a lowered ConAgra tax assessment after a 2000 fire. Real estate values dropped to 3.5 million and personal property to 6 million, shifting 2001 taxes to 247 211 and forecasting about 250 000 annually through 2003 depending on mill levies. The stipulation with the State Board of Tax Appeals limits further changes and keeps budget discussions on track for mid year.
