Although no changes in the advertised budget were made on Monday, it’s still too early to rule out the possibility, judging by statements from supervisor H. B. Wood. "My opinion is that we could cut it down to a SS.25 rate if we were really serious about it,” said Wood.

In actuality, his suggestion would mean maintaining the county’s current level of taxation since all but 45 cents of the proposed tax hike over this year’s S4.40 rate is directly attributable to the tax shift resulting from the supervisors’ decision earlier this year to drop the levy on farm machinery, livestock, household goods and merchants capital.
