Owen County budget may need layoffs, possible tax increase to balance

The Herald-Times SPENCER Owen County Auditor Sheila Reeves is glad she delayed hiring someone to replace an employee who recently quit. “I didn’t want to hire someone and then have to let them go,” she said. And that’s what she would have faced. During a three-hour meeting fraught with talk of the rural county’s money troubles, Owen County Council members said recent 20% cuts across the board did make a $600,000 dent in the county’s $2 million shortfall in the 2021 budget. But it wasn’t nearly enough, less than a third of what’s necessary. So council members voted that each county department must lay off one employee by Aug. 15. That’s about 10 county workers. “People are upset, wondering if they will be the one that gets cut,” Reeves said from her courthouse office Tuesday afternoon.

Owen County officials cut budgets

Laura Lane The Herald-Times SPENCER – Owen County Council spent a few hours Tuesday night hammering out ways to cut county expenses by 20% between now and the end of the year. They made progress, transferring money from one account to another where possible and hearing from several department heads about plans to reduce the amount of money they spend over the next seven months. The cuts are necessary because of the county’s bad habit of spending more money than is appropriated in its budget. Add to that a paperwork mistake that cut the county’s tax income for this year by nearly $1 million, and the financial woes compounded.
