Sullivan County budget cuts back on money for nursing home renovation
Modified: 6/30/2021 9:54:09 PM
UNITY Sullivan County lawmakers voted this week to approve a $34.3 million budget that opponents characterized as “shortsighted” for failing to set aside enough money for a long-planned renovation of the county’s nursing home.
The Democratic-controlled delegation voted, 8-5, on nearly partisan lines Tuesday to approve a fiscal year 2022 spending plan that officials say will increase the county’s portion of property taxes by 3.8%.
That’s a reduction from the budget put forth earlier this year by the Republican-led Sullivan County Commission, which proposed a $34.6 million plan that would have seen taxes rise by almost 10%.
The Sullivan County Commission voted on Thursday to appoint Teresa Nelson to fill the General Sessions Court Division 1 judgeship upon the expected June 30 retirement of Judge Klyne Lauderback.
