Supervisors OK area budget despite limited basis for figures
Supervisor Gene Tackett noted the budget lacks firm data after the court opened only weeks earlier. The board approved 28 400 to pave the Shafter court parking lot and budgeted 291 000 for Lerdo Highway work and 88 000 for Shafter street repairs. They eyed diverting 250 000 from bed taxes to contracts and subsidizing county golf courses, proposing private leases to cut government competition. Deputies on patrol were increased by 16 amid rising crime concerns.
