What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Lewis County is proposing an $80 million budget for 2027, maintaining most tax rates at the current level of $6.17 per $1,000 of assessed value. County Manager Tim Hunt stated that close to two-thirds of the next year’s budget covers costs pushed onto the county from a bill by Donald Trump. Consequently, departments funded solely by the county, including Planning, IT, and Trails, will take cuts in 2027.
