On WCOA's "Real News with Rick Outzen" Tomorrow Morning talking County Budget

I'll be on "Real News with Rick Outzen" tomorrow morning at 7:00 AM talking the 2023-2024 Escambia County Budget. 

I've been invited to appear tomorrow on the area's most reliable, accurate, and in-the-know morning AM drive news radio show--"Real News with Rick Outzen" on 1370 WCOA.

There is a lot to discuss as the BCC is headed into the budget process with a record-setting $700 Million Dollar proposed budget that will be discussed in tomorrow morning's BCC meeting starting at 9:00 downtown.  So we will preview that meeting on Rick's show first at 7:00 and discuss the important aspects of it.

For those that want a deeper dive:  Check out the county's very in-depth and informative 2023-2024 proposed budget document online here.   It is a very detailed and thorough look at our revenue sources and where we are spending your (taxpayer) dollars in the county.  It is worth the time to read.

--Check out page 8 for historical comparison

--Check out page 31 for our funding allocations for the Constitutional offices 

--Check out page 43 for the start of the BCC departmental budgets

--Check out page 228 for the judicial budget

Lots of information, all transparent, and most importantly:  Once again NO TAX RATE INCREASE in this budget to support the operations of the county--we are living within our means.
