Butler County 2008 budget stands, but belts will tighten
Although Butler County commissioners agreed last week to let stand a 2.5-mill property tax increase for 2008, the board directed all county departments and row offices to make small but immediate spending cuts. Additionally, commissioners said they will ask representatives of about two dozen local nonprofit groups to justify why they should receive allocations this year totaling about $95,000. Meetings with those representatives will be followed by a commissioners' decision within three months as to whether the groups will receive any funding in 2008. Also, the long-time practice of paying medical benefits for the dozen or so solicitors who work for county row offices will be evaluated, as well as the practice of employing outside solicitors. The moves are among a series of short- and long-term recommendations from a volunteer budget review committee that was asked last month by the county commissioners to go over the $185 million spending plan with a fine-toothed comb.

Because he wasnt American or he wasnt, you know, signed on to do that type of job. He was allowed to stick around, but he wasnt allowed to talk to any more detainees.
