Accomack County Board of Supervisors Vote On 2013 Budget Today

The Accomack County Board of Supervisors will meet at 5 PM today to vote on the 2013 budget.

This year's budget is $6 million less than last year's because of extra money needed last year to close the Southern landfill. The highlights of this year's budget are:


1. No tax increase.
2. Local sales tax collection was up due to new retail sales.
3. $1.3 million in new capital expenditures.
4. $290,000 for additional space for the sheriff's building.
5. A 3% raise for all county employees
6. $772,000 additional dollars put in the rainy day fund bring the total to 10.6% with a long term goal of 16%
