Johnson County Faces Budget Cut Over Growing Population
Johnson County officials confront a vexing problem as census figures push the area into a 110,000 to 140,000 population bracket. Without a first class city, the county must absorb police and other services, forcing deep budget cuts, including sheriff funds dipping from over 125000 to about 67000. County Attorney Bradley warned impacts are immediate and emergency action may be needed before the Kansas Legislature reconvenes.
