Cutting budget
It will take major surgery to keep
Huron County taxpayers from be
ing hit by a large increase in their
county taxes next year.
Budget forecasts, including the
county’s $1.5 million commitment
to the Huronview project, show the
county facing a 19 per cent levy
increase in 1991, an increase that
had Exeter Reeve Bill Mickle
worried. He wondered if the county
council should be putting limits on
how much the increase had to be
whittled down. “We have to be
cognizant of the economic situation
of the county. Council has to sit
down and say ‘how much can we
extract from property owners?’ He
pointed to plant closures and
layoffs and the situation with farms
and businesses, saying “We can’t
be talking about increases in the
teens. I really believe there is some
real soul-searching to be done.
We’re almost to the limit.’’
But Warden Lionel Wilder said it
was going to be a real challenge
just to trim the increase at all. If the
increase was limited to the five to
seven per cent range he didn’t see
how the county could find the
money needed for Huronview. The
county executive is trying to get out
the word to department heads to do
tough, county hears
the best job they can in trimming
costs. “By holding the increase
under 10 per cent it’s going to take
a long time to raise $1.5 million a
year for Huronview,’’ he said.
