In contrast to the city of Fargo’s busy budget hearing, no residents shared their thoughts with Cass County on the 2024 budget during their own public input hearing on Monday, Sept. 18.
While the city of Fargo is set to raise property taxes, Cass County is planning to lower taxes, resulting in a budget shortfall in 2024 that will be absorbed by the county's savings account.
The Cass County Commission discussed the idea of pay increases for medical and jail workers. The idea was brought to the meeting after various employees received offers from other employers.
