County Faces Budget Carryover and Spending Gaps
Kokoski questions tax hikes as deficits persist while 2006 carryover swells on interest earnings. Cordes warns continuous overspending risks economic stability, likening it to a household with rising costs and flat income. 2006 receipts from investments rose to 6.4 million and sales taxes to 15.2 million, yet general fund expenses climbed to 56.8 million. The current-year budget plans 53.4 million in spending with 2 million in anticipated costs, while auditors note 15 million carryover versus 17.4 million in 2005.
