Budget panel weighs 1957 plan in Clermont County
The Clermont County budget commission must review a 1957 budget of 630000 adopted by county commissioners. The spending exceeds anticipated revenue by 100009. Potential fixes include trimming department requests, using 1956 operating funds, higher tax duplicate revenue, village and school district funds, or a county levy, though observers doubt a levy will be needed.

Ausman Eyes Bond or Levy Over Clermont Welfare Strain
Clermont County Welfare Director Sam Ausman says relief funds from the state have not kept pace with population growth, urging a bond issue for a local hospital or a relief levy. He notes hospitals have raised daily rates and that unpaid bills pile up while state relief remains flat. He adds that funding may require voter approval of a relief levy or a county hospital bond.
