Adams County adopts 1981 budget with tax hike cited
Adams County commissioners tentatively approve an 1981 budget raising the real estate tax by three mills to 14 mills and maintaining the 5 per capita tax and 4 mill personal property tax. The plan relies on federal revenue sharing and includes 240,600 for courthouse debt, 36,000 for emergency communications, and 12,411 for a courthouse reserve. Commissioner Catherine W. Cowan questions trims and calls the plan tentative amid inflation and reduced state reimbursements that add 200,000 in unexpected juvenile and child services costs.
