Sedgwick County Commissioner Gwen Welshimer is adamant about preventing a property tax increase this year, so much so that she's asking the county manager and finance director where they can find $4.3 million.
That's how much is needed to fill a 5 percent property value increase this year, Welshimer told The Hall Monitor today. She wants the county to reduce the mill levy and funnel $4.3 million from somewhere else to fill the gap.
She's asked manager Bill Buchanan and finance director Chris Chronis to look over this year's budget and see where they can cut $4.3 million.
Where will that money come from?
"I'm not real sure, but the manager and finance director should be able to tell me that," Welshimer said. "Well, I hope they should."
Welshimer plans to bring the issue to the table again at Tuesday's staff meeting.
