Butler County eyes 34.2 million sales tax next year amid debt plan
Budget figures show sales tax revenue rising 5 percent over this year to 34.2 million, helping counties pay down about 65 million in loans for projects including the Government Services Building and jail. Officials expect 81.6 million in spending next year with health costs and elections driving higher costs. The county aims to cut debt to 9 million by 2023 while preserving reserves and following a 2010 resolution to allocate surplus to debt, cap ex, and one time purchases.
