Coincidence that the commission in less than two weeks will
get a hold of county Mayor Tim Burchett’s proposed budget? Heh.
I mean, seriously, it took long enough to get together and
go over it. Anyhoo, there was really nothing new out of the talks. The commissioners
appear to like the recommendations, but – according to Chairman Mike Hammond –
there really isn’t a next step.
He said the commission will take a wait and see approach in
regards to what the Burchett proposes.
I’m pretty sure there’s gonna be a long wait as the mayor
told me earlier today that the county already provides $5 million in indigent
care, mostly through the health department, and he’s not chipping in any more
than that.
