Polk County Budget Done

The Polk County Board of Supervisors approved a 2011-12 budget of $242.5 million. They managed to close a $3-million and change budget hole without raising property taxes or laying off any workers. The Des Moines Register reports they took $2.7-million from reserves, and cut spending by $600-thousand. Under the adopted budget, the property tax rate is $6.82 per $1,000 of valuation in urban areas and $11.37 for rural.
