County OKs 44 Million Budget Amid Uncertain State Finances
Douglas County commissioners approved a 2003 budget of 44 million, relying on reserves to offset state-mandated revenue cuts. The plan keeps basic services funded while boosting some areas such as the emergency dispatch center, and includes a 3 percent pay raise for county employees. The tax rate will drop 0.2 percent, saving an average homeowner about 1.02 dollars from last year.
