$14 Million Trimmed From Schools
County Executive Jack B. Johnson (D) has proposed cutting $14 million in school funding and trimming raises for employees to close a $48 million shortfall in the county's budget, as tax revenue has entered a free fall in the tightening economy.
A spokesman for Johnson confirmed that a deficit has emerged in a budget that was adopted by the County Council on May 21 and will take effect Tuesday. The new gap became apparent when June revenue reports were examined, said the spokesman, John E. Erzen.
