99 NEWS FOR 10/31/12
COUNTY TAX CAP DECISION DELAYED—The St. Lawrence County Legislature Finance Committee voted 10-3 Tuesday to table a decision whether or not to send the full board a resolution to exceed the state-mandated cap for next year. The County has a cap of about 4 percent—the state-mandated 2 percent, plus allowances for mandated expenditures. The Committee has until just before the full board plans to vote on the 2013 spending plan November 26^th, to decide whether or not to go over the cap. Any amount raised over the cap, by law must go into a reserve to be applied the following year if the budget goes over the cap without a vote to over-ride, first. The board is dealing with a current draft budget with a tax hike of about 15 percent. Finance Committee Chair Fred Morrill once again warned it must “get serious about cuts.” ALSO IN COMMITTEE LAST NIGHT—A proposed tobacco ban on county-owned property was sent to the full board.
