FARMINGTON Members of the county Budget Advisory Committee voted 6-1 Wednesday not to reject the commissioners’ $7 million budget, which wraps up the spending package for 2021-22.
A couple of committee members were supportive of commissioners for not leaving a 3% raise in the budget when they decreased it to 2% on June 24.
Tiffany Estabrook of Chesterville said she would like to thank commissioners “for coming back with actual numbers” instead of using 3% just for budgetary purposes.
Gary McGrane of Jay, a former commissioner for 27 years, who made the motion to reject the commissioners’ budget, said the salaries should have been negotiated prior to the budget process starting. He also said he would like to see the $6,470 increase from the budget committee’s spending plan be taken out of the commissioners’ department budget.

PIASA – Steve Wooley was surprised when Southwestern principal Mark Bearley took the microphone to address the crowd for a pregame presentation Friday night.
But the featured surprise for Wooley came when the presenters of the plaque walked into the gym. The longtime Piasa Birds athletics director and girls basketball coach was already wearing his game face for a key South Central Conference game with Pana. He should have been wearing his glasses.
“When they were coming through the door, I didn’t have my glasses on,” Wooley said. “I was kind of like, who in the hell is this? They said it was going to be a big surprise. And it was a huge shock. I still can’t believe they are here. This is great.”
