County taxes going up
The County Commissioners ended up going with the original proposed budget.
A long meeting with lots of speakers. Very emotional from all perspectives.
Commissioner Buchanan previously said he would not vote for a tax raise, but did so. This is more surprising because he could have cast a dissenting vote and still had the budget passed. In essence, he did not take the opportunity to place himself in a better light politically.
Commissioner Keller did not expect to vote tonight.
Commissioner Midgett mentions that only 100 people attended the four public sessions and said people just werent interested. He urged people to become more educated and involved.
Commissioner Ikner wants to put the sales tax back on the ballot and will vote to reduce the tax rate an equal amount if passed.
Meeting ends at midnight…
