Butler County budget update - waiting on cuts could cost $300,000 a month
The Butler County Office of Management and Budget released its May 2010 report today. Here it is:
Analysis:
OMB Director Pete Landrum is suggesting commissioners cut $3.5 million from the county’s budget for the rest of this year, and pull $500,000 from reserves.
He also warns that if commissioners don’t act soon, the problem will get worse. Every two-week pay period they go without cutting staff will send that deficit up roughly $150,000, the report says.
Meanwhile, commissioners haven’t met in nearly two weeks.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned….the county commissioners dilly daddled while the county went broke. Simple question is why aren’t they meeting?

One department jumped out at me in looking at the OMB report. The Civil Defense budget jumped 116.7% over the previous year. Talk about a department that is out of control.

Three X GOP = Blank Check Need checks and balances, time to put a Democrat in as one of the three. Otherwise, plan on more of the same.
