Kane County to hear from financial expert

Interesting article for several reasons.  I never knew that a county board could not really stop overspending of elected officials.

state budget experts will speak to the board in what McConnaughay [County Board Chairwoman] described as an effort to get members to understand the state's dire financial situation. The experts also will explain what that situation means for the county.

Members again cited the fact that the board has no authority to prevent offices from overspending.

"We end up overspending at the end of the year because we can't control the management decisions made in other offices," McConnaughay said
