Somerset County Commissioners Refuse to Release Budget
Claim Copies available at the door May 18 at 7:00 p.m.
Although a public hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, May 18, 2010, the finance director has refused to release copies of the budget in advance of the meeting. Hearing is to be in County Commissioners offices in county office building (old Washington H.S.)
With the calls for fiscal responsibility counties are not exempt from trimming their spending. Citizens of Somerset expect a budget reflective of at least a 2% cut across the board. Wasteful spending and county expeditures for marinas and parks must be curtailed. Somerset is a rural county, dotted with marinas, boating facilities, and fields at dozens of schools, some abandoned, not an over crowded, over built urban area. Were the citizens involved in these million dollar acquisitions that removed valuable properties permanently from the tax rolls?
Why is the county subsidizing the GOLF COURSE $75,000.00 every year?
Commissioners must curtail spending. Demand a 2% cut across the board!
Revenue Cap for Somerset County
Let's lower TAXES BELOW the Constant Yield. With higher assessments, some taxes may still go up.
Somerset County should have a "Revenue Cap". After all, this is an election year so the Commissioners did not raise taxes. Without a Revenue Cap there is nothing to prevent a tax spike next year.
How high will taxes jump next year?
You live on and within your budget. Government must too.

Very interesting, good questions, lets get some answers.
Joe why don't you show up May 18 and not hidden behind some bush or parked 2 blocks away. Besides there are few good ole boys who would love to see you walk in.
Man princess anne is nothing more than a few good ol boys runnin a town full of poor blacks and inbred rednecks. The only shining star is the university but unfortunately their admissions likes to accept a high number of hooligans from the city who make the good students look bad and the town does their absolute best to make the students all the unwelcome.
