Clarke County Budget Nearing Final Form For Next Year
Clarke County budget talks center on a $3.457 million plan with a 25 cent real estate tax increase to $2.50 per $100 assessed value. A courthouse addition is planned at $400,000 with $200,000 from surplus and a proposed $200,000 loan. Officials consider cuts of about $100,000 to avoid the loan and a smaller tax rise, 15 to 7 percent, while seeking to balance without tax hikes.

Carter's Latest Problem
Carter faces unifying a divided Democratic Party after winning the nomination. He risks alienating labor leaders, Humphrey loyalists, McUdall liberals, and anti Soviet pro Israel voters.
