OMB and Budget Commission differences
According to the presentation, the Budget Commission’s 2011 projection is $75.3 million in revenues. The Office of Management and Budget is for $77.7 million.
Of the $2.4 million difference in the two projections, the largest difference ($1.1 million) is in local government funds provided by the state.
Budget requests from the departments still are at $85.2 million.
From a Dec. 16 memo, cuts and reductions of just more than $7 million has been proposed.

The county commission has got to figure out a way to generate additional revenue for this county or we are going to go bankrupt. The only way to do this is to hike the sales tax and cut irresponsible spending. We have got to build reserves and get the budget balanced. It is ridiculous to think that Dixon thinks that people flock to this county to save .25% on the sales tax. There is a reason that surrounding counties are pulling out of this recession and that is due to the fact their sales tax rates are online with every other county in this state. We are cutting police and other essential services that affect us residents on the west side of this county as well as the other non-incorporated areas. Commissioners, you need to table the sales tax again and put it to the entire county to vote on, not what 100 tea party members say who live in liberty and west chester where their services are not being cut. Get some additional revenue coming in and get this county back on track.

The Budget Commission has no greater insight to the numbers than does OMB, where the research is quite intensive. This is a power play by the Budget Commission to unduly control the budget process and force the Commissioners to their way of thinking.
