More Cuts to be Made in Pulaski County Budget

 Pulaski County Auditor Shelia Garling informed the commissioners this week that The budget order from the state has returned. Over $48,000 needs to be further cut from the budget as well as $153,000 in the highway budget. She said several errors were made when putting the budget together in some line items. It is the hope that additional appropriations won’t have to be made unless necessary.

Dave Bennett from Bennett Insurance gave the commissioners some good news. The county will be getting a refund of $205,499 as claims were down in 2014. Garling said that refund will come in three installments with the first payment already received in December.
