Other facts

Reducing the cost of county government remains a priority. We have cut taxes $6.2 million in the 2012 budget alone, for a total reduction of $14.7 million since 2007. Spending has been reduced $27 million in the same period. Meanwhile, we continue to provide recreation grants to the towns ($15 million over three years) and improve county resources for businesses and job seekers. Our new job seekers webpage is now the second most-visited on the county website.
