Supervisors close hearings on county budget and tax rate
The Board of Supervisors wrapped up three days of hearings on the $77.5 million county budget with uncertainty over the 1974-75 tax rate. A contingency of $3.18 million was set for salary adjustments, potentially adding 24 cents to the rate, though state and federal revenues could offset much of that rise. The draft had flagged a 30 cent increase, yielding a possible 54 cent boost from the current $2.64 per $100 valuation, but changes in revenues could reduce the levy.
