Thank Gawd Bob Litz is at the helm

by

This scares me a bit, and makes me a little sick;

Minnehaha County auditor Bob Litz says the county might need to cut back by at least 7 percent in 2012, based on early income and cash flow numbers.

Litz says cash on hand in March was $1.35 million, when it is typically about $4 million at that time of year. He says expenses are running nearly $6 million over income each month.

Commissioners approved a $64 million budget for 2011. That was more than $22,000 less than the 2010 budget.

I just hope they find money for a decorating budget for Bob’s office. Though the cardboard boxes do match his skin tone.

    So Pekas wants to raise taxes and Barth wants to stick it to employees with pay cuts and unpaid days off- I bet that will help get the Tea Party People to support his run for Congress

    I have a better idea. Cut administrative costs. What a freaking concept?

    At least the county realizes they’re short when it’s a down economy and tax revenue is less. The city is going to build a $100M (actually $250M) events center with money originally intended for infrastructure repairs and litigation satisfaction.
