Well—the real question: is the current budget really “balanced” as promised? Do the departments’ cut backs really match the fall in revenues? What do we really know about this current budget? I believe revenues are falling perhaps even more than projected because of the state’s share still being up in the air but what about the expenditures cuts? Public Safety items are nearly 50% of the budget “can” and “will” these expenditures be trimmed?
Terrinoni anticipates he will have a clearer projection to deliver to the board about the county’s budget status. He said as of Tuesday, it looked like the county was operating under a deficit based on “guesswork looking forward.”
