In March, the Carroll County delegation passed a budget that was about $2.5 million short of covering the county's needs. Commissioners say $1.5 million of the shortage is years-old receivables that an auditor wrote off. Another $1 million went toward lowering taxes. The commissioners also say the delegation boosted projected revenues. Delegation members say they based their budget on what the commission and county staff told them. Commissioners now want a $2 million supplemental budget to get them through December. The tax impact was described as being $32 per a $200,000 house. Without a supplemental budget, service organizations like UNH Cooperative Extension and Child Advocacy Center would be defunded.
This week's Tele-Talk question: Should the delegation pass a supplemental budget?
