A Washington County department head said he was “blindsided” by having his budget cut by about $175,000 by the Washington County Commission.
After their regular business meeting Thursday morning, the commission met to discuss the 2021 appropriations.
“Every department save one received exactly what their budget request was for the 2021 fiscal year,” Commission President Ron Feathers said. “There was one that is based solely off of their revenue. This is not an indication of leadership or management, it’s simply an indication of COVID that we had to cut back about $200,000.”
He said the department is well needed, but it’s also a department of convenience and is not mandated.

Discussion continues as to what to name a new township road accepted during a recent Washington County Commission meeting.
The road was built at the southern end of the Warren Local School campus as a way to access the elementary school. As it was built using funds from Ohio Department of Transportation, it could not be owned by the school district, and it could not become a county road because it dead ends.
After it was accepted as a township road, testimony was heard from proponents from both Barlow Township and the school district.
Warren Local School board member Bob Allen asked the commission to designate it “Big Blue Way.”
