Butler county payroll delayed as tax settlement looms
On November 1, Butler county commissioners held a regular session but took no action to issue bonds or advance funds. Salaries for county employees were not paid, pending completion of the tax settlement. Estimated November payroll projected at about 70 percent funded by delinquent tax collections, with further shortfalls noted in Middletown and surrounding areas. Inheritance taxes and Miami Parkway levy influenced Middletown finances, while real estate figures showed variances between towns.
