County supervisors cut budget sparing tax hike to seven tenths
County supervisors wrapped a record budget session by slicing $918,158 from the proposed 1975-76 budget of $102 million. Auditor-Controller Paul Floyd says the tax rate increase now sits near 70 cents, down from an initial 1.22. Earlier hearings trimmed over $3 million, then about $1.3 million more was added to fund 5 percent pay raises and fringe benefits for most of 3,000 county employees. Board Chairman Beattie and the County Taxpayers Assn. hailed the slimming of the budget, with possible further $1–2 million in assessed valuation pending before the rate is set.
