Why an election dispute could mean cuts to Maricopa County's proposed budget
PHOENIX — The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors gave an initial approval Monday to a $3.955 billion budget. But they said a dispute with the county recorder over election management could mean some small budget cuts.
The proposed budget includes a property tax cut, pay raises for Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office patrol officers and detention officers and funding for a new election tabulation center.
Board of Supervisors Chair Thomas Galvin applauded the budget’s cutting of the overall tax rate.
“And it highlights the fiscal responsibility, the good stewardship of this county, this board,” he said, adding that he is proud of cutting tax rates.
