‘Growing a new financial outlook for Butler County’
The Butler County Budget Work Group has assembled its first recommendations for addressing the county’s budget crisis (read about the background of the group here).
Commissioners accepted the recommendations last week and sanctioned the group as an official advisory group for the commission. This is a big win for the group, with includes commissioners, county Clerk of Courts Cindy Carpenter, Auditor Roger Reynolds, Domestic Relations Judge Sharon Kennedy and others.
The first recommendations deal with revising the county’s budget process to make it more transparent to other offices and the public.
Here is the document adopted by commissioners (specifically Don Dixon and Charles Furmon. Gregory Jolivette was absent from the meeting where the group’s findings were presented by Reynolds):

What do you think? Will these changes make a difference? What should the group propose next?
