Tensions rise at budget meeting
Placeholder Image
Tempers flared at Thursday’s Warren County Commission Budget & Finance Committee meeting. The emotions ran high after Mark Brown asked the county commissioners for $250,000 to help fund the Industrial Development Board.“When you put 3.5 million dollars in something and nothing happens in 4 years, I think the taxpayers want to know what we’re doing,” said Commissioner Terry Bell. According to the financial breakdown given to the board by IDB treasurer Mark Brown, the IDB still has over $3.1 million in checking and savings accounts.
