Reallocation of Levies Threatens Auditorium Funding
Raleigh County officials warned that Senate Bill 15 and House Bill 299 proposing reallocation of county levies would cut funds for the county board of education and reduce the special levy total for a $630,000 civic auditorium project at New River Park Sprague. If enacted, regular levies and the special levy election would yield far less than the $216,000 yearly need, threatening both the auditorium and county services.
