County Tax Levy Must Be Increased Says Caldwell
Sullivan county faces higher real and personal property taxes as Judge Joe A Caldwell announces a proposed levy rise to $1.00 for the coming fiscal year. The budget shows expenditures at 402,625, up from 657,020 the prior year, driven by highway overdraft, two new schools costing 700,000, increased pauper relief, and higher court costs amid unpaid fines and inmate cases. Caldwell cites needed funds to cover overdraft, school construction, relief needs, and growing judicial costs. The county budget session followed a two day meeting.
