Budget calls for spending increase in 1987 Lawrence County
Lawrence County commissioners introduced a proposed 1987 budget showing an $844,000 spending rise but no property tax increase. The plan, totaling $10,937,231, will be publicly displayed for 20 days before a Dec. 30 adoption. Surplus from 1986 at $700,000 and cooperative department heads helped avoid tax hikes, though some commissioners favored a two-mill increase.
