The $176 million county spending plan will raise property taxes by 15 percent. The average homeowner will pay about $43 more next year, officials said.
Commissioner P.J. Stevens said he knows the decision is not popular but said he can’t be concerned about winning a popularity contest.
Each county department was asked to cut spending, but Stevens said the county is still in a tight spot.
In addition, the county laid off a sheriff’s deputy, among other employees. The sheriff is now threatening a lawsuit over the layoffs.
