Proposed Franklin County Budget Inches Up in 1977 Plan
Franklin County commissioners approved a 1977 budget with a 2.24 mill levy hike to 32.13 per $1,000 of assessed value. The increases fund ambulance service, an Appraiser's Cost Fund, and weed control, while some levies fall due to higher assessed valuation and leaner expenses. The total proposed budget is 3,198,476 with 452,000 from revenue sharing and 132,000 in unspent 1976 revenue sharing.
