FOR YOUR INFORMATION This is the time of the year when the governmental agencies publish their annual budgets for the next fiscal year. These budgets, required by law, are probably one of the most overlooked items of a newspaper as legal notices of any kind are not usually well read. The budgets do give you an idea of what money is being asked for an also they include the proposed tax levy for the coming year. After publicizing of these budgets, a hearing is held, usually without much public response, and then later the budget is adopted. Then it faces the State Board of Tax Commissioners where it will be finalized later in the year. This year’s budgets will probably be figured conservatively high as the reassessment has caused an uncertainty about property valuation. A budget can be cut or lowered when the hearings come about, but cannot be raised so the natural tendency is to boost the budget a little in case of cuts that can then not be made up in that year it is to be in effect. This week we have several budgets published, the John Glenn School Corporation, both the Towns of Walkerton and North Liberty and some township budgets. Even though the figures are general in their listings, the complete figures are available and the hearing publicized is the time for one to ask questions if they have any. Operating any governmental agency that operates on the taxpayers money should be of interest to those taxpayers. These people are working for you and spending your money. You have every right to know and to ask questions if any occur. We would encourage everyone to take a few minutes, look over the budget and proposed tax rates and if you are not satisfied with what you see, the hearing date advertised is the time for you to ask your questions. That’s what this is all about. ZZL when... JX'
