Clarke County Budget Hearing Pushes for Courthouse Cutback
A Clarke County public hearing on the 1976 77 budget drew 150 200 residents urging a compromise. They proposed shaving the courthouse expansion to 290 000 from 400 000 and reallocating funds to a 4 H extension agent and Recreation Council. The group urged the Board of Supervisors to drop the tax increase and balance the budget with measured cuts in courthouse and recreation funding.
