Escambia Reschedules Hearing On $475 Million Budget

September 5, 2018

The Escambia County Board of Commissioners rescheduled the first of two budget hearings to discuss approval of their $475 million proposed Fiscal Year 2018-2019 budget.

The meeting, which was rescheduled from Tuesday due to Tropical Storm Gordon, will now be held Monday, September 10 at 5:31 p.m. A second meeting will be held on Monday, September 17 at 5:31 p.m.  Two public hearings are required to adopt the millage rate for property taxation and the budget for Fiscal Year 2018-19.

The board certified the millage rate for publication purposes at 6.6165 for the county-wide millage rate, .3590 for the Library Municipal Services Taxing Unit and .6850 for the Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Municipal Services Taxing Unit. All proposed rates represent no change in the millage levies from the prior year.

    Cut out all the top unnecessary brass in all agencies and millions could be freed up. The sheriff could hire more feet for the street to take a serious bite out of crime, school board could continue to build new schools to meet demands, proper sewer services for all residents and local road projects/drainage. But I guess its more important to have good ol boys pockets lined and provide a life of luxury for the chosen few.
