Remember 11-18-2009: Vote on Boone budget was done correctly

Will Boone County have any of this drama when the county budget is voted next month?

Their decision to lay those objections to rest means that the $13.4 million budget will stand as approved

Previous shortfall
In recent months, the proposed 2010 budget contained a shortfall that measured — by some estimates — $285,000.
Instead of making painful spending cuts, the board erased the shortfall by infusing the 2010 spending plan with additional property tax penalties — fees that property owners pay when they make late tax payments. Doing so would add up to $133,500 in revenue to the 2010 budget
