COUNTY BUDGET APPROVED BY COMMISSION

(03/27/2007)

The Calhoun Commission, following several budget sessions, approved the county's 2007-08 budget Monday. Commissioner Kevin Helmick voted nay on the budget, saying "The employee increase (10%) was a little too much." Helmick said he would like to set aside money in a rainy day fund in case difficult times surfaced like two years ago. This year's budget total's about $1.7 million, but several hundred thousand dollars are "pass-throughs" from grants and special appropriations, not from county tax funds.
