Tonight was the County Commissioners meeting, a public hearing. Chris was one of about 7 employees who got up and presented their opinions within the 3 minute time limit. The meeting was all about the budget for 2008. With a surplus of 14 million dollars, the commissioners won't grant the Sheriff's office an increase in the budget to fill the 8 positions open for deputies. Neighboring counties pay so much more that the deputies are slowly leaving one by one.
The budget will be adopted on December 18th - hopefully some of the comments made tonight will help change their minds and they will allocate more money to the Sheriff's Office.
