(KLZA)-- Following public hearings on the proposed budget and tax levy Tuesday, drawing no input from the public, Richardson County Commissioners approved the budget for the next fiscal year.
The budget was approved as presented with an eight percent decrease from fiscal year 2016-17. The total budget of expenditures was set at $13,235,965. That is one-and-a-quarter million dollars less than last year.
