[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 2588622, member: 1294"] Back to roads... Thacker, Helm approve county employee raises The pay increases were supported, despite approximately $1 million in cuts to One-Cent and T-Highway accounts. The cuts to road and bridge maintenance were a result of an effort to balance the general fund budget... Rogers County voters supported the One-Cent Sales Tax renewal in August allocating 1/8 of a cent from the sales tax to the pay down the $32.5 million debt resulting from the Material Services lawsuit. Overall impact is the county balanced the $20 million budget by cutting road funding and using excess sales tax allocated to pay the courthouse bond debt to increase employee pay...
