County budget trims fund balance use amid Entergy dispute
Oswego County uses about 1 million of its fund balance in 2015 aiming to blunt any Entergy tax repayment if the court rules in its favor. Health insurance costs rise 1.4 million, state mandates remain unfunded, and a Nine Mile agreement draft keeps property tax increases within the state cap. County officials highlight vacancy reviews saving 2.22 million and discuss investing in communities while continuing to curb overlapping services.
