The Gasconade County Commissioners began the 2010 county budgeting process at their regular weekly meeting at the Owensville City Hall this morning. The budgeting process will continue at the County Courthouse in Hermann on Friday morning at 8:30 a.m.
Hermann Hearsay has a few questions:
- Will sufficient funds be budgeted in 2010 for the proper maintenance and preservation of our Gasconade County Courthouse or will the County Commission continue to grossly underfund courthouse maintenance and preservation as they have for far too many years in the past?
- Will $104,000 REALLY be spent on a new dump truck for the Road and Bridge Department at a time when county employee benefits are being cut, maintenance of the County Courthouse is being neglected, salary increases are being withheld, and so forth and so on?
- Will the Sheriff's Department budget finally be challenged or will it be permitted to grow without independent oversight by the County Commission?
Hermann Hearsay encourages the public to turn out in large numbers for the Friday budget meeting!

Clark,
ReplyDeleteCan the Commissioners put some money in this year's budget for wabbit habitat? I know a young man in the Missouri Conservation Department who could probably help us with wabbit habitat.

They need to put money in the budget to tuckpoint and seal the exterior brickwork of the courthouse. The building also needs new windows and lots of paint!
