Monday, September 27th, 2010 -- 11:09 AM
The budget situation for Jackson County is bad. Budget-writers are facing an $824,000 2010 budget shortfall.The Board of Supervisors is looking at possibly cutting about 124 employees? workweeks by 4 hours. The proposal was sent back to the personnel and bargaining committee last week.
The county?s 2010 budget deficit largely comes from a Department of Health and Human Services shortfall, estimated between $600,000 and $900,000.
The next personnel and bargaining committee meeting is at 9 a.m. Oct. 4.
Meanwhile, Clark County?s Board of Supervisors will get their first glimpse at the proposed budget when they meet on Friday at 9 a.m. at the courthouse.
