County Seeks Funds After Tax Panel Rejection
Pima county will file again for a special levy and permission to exceed the budget after a board of supervisors and the tax commission met. The three tax commissioners would not reverse a ruling cutting 132 949 dollars from the request, leaving sheriff and assessor offices underfunded. The hospital health program elections and superior courts plus other costs total 200 613 dollars. Emergency was said not to exist at the Tucson hearing but salary raises after the budget contributed to the shortfall.
