What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Local and county governments operate under strict statutory guidelines and localized revenue limits. For entities like Colorado County, the small percentage of property taxes collected makes it difficult to cover every mandated operational cost. County budget worksheets map out projected revenue and proposed expenditure across departments, such as road maintenance and the judicial system.
