County Looks At Lean Budget, Token Raises

Kosciusko County - like virtually every other county in the state - is feeling a financial pinch during its current budget cycle. Monday, at Kosciusko County Council's first of three 2004 budget hearings, council chairman Harold Jones said at least three factors - all out of the county's hands - are putting a financial burden on the county. First, the county's share of the County Option Income Tax is being reduced this year by 10 percent by the state because the state claims it overestimated the county's share.Secondly, the low interest rates are bringing in less money for the county.And third, the state has reduced the county's maximum tax levy. With that in mind, Jones said, the budget hearings and decisions all are preliminary."We are kind of leaving everything open at this point," he said.

We all experience the death of friends and family members in our life. In financial planning, we often find ourselves involved in the aftermath of those deaths. If the deceased planned their estate before their death, it usually makes it easier on the survivors.


KABS Facing Significant Financial Hurdles

Despite already having tightened their belts in the past year, officials with KABS are facing even more financial difficulties in 1997. Kosciusko Area Bus Service raised fares a year ago in preparation of an estimated 17 percent cut in federal funding effective Jan.1. Although they've made preparations for the upcoming year, KABS is looking at more financial difficulties in 1998, said director Tom Sherrin. More reductions in funding loom as a result of policies prescribed by the government for Cardinal Center, an agency that works with disabled people which represents a significant portion of KABS users. With a decrease in centralized programming at Cardinal Center for some clients, Cardinal expects an overall reduction in the use of KABS - and therefore plans to reduce its funding for KABS.


I'm not so sure I like all this budget surplus stuff.

This means the government has even more of our money to play around with. The government is taking in more than it budgeted, so they call it a surplus.But it really isn't a surplus because the Social Security trust fund is underfunded.But they call it a surplus anyway.They shouldn't.Frankly, they shouldn't call it a trust fund, either. A trust fund is generally set up so you can't use it for anything other than its intended purpose.They've been raiding that Social Security trust fund for a long time. So the surplus really isn't a surplus and the Social Security trust fund isn't really a trust fund. But for the sake of this column I'll roll with them and pretend there is a surplus.
