St. Joseph County officials could face a $2 million budget shortfall if all department funding requests are approved for 2027.
The county expects about $680,000 in surplus funds, so council members will have to decide which requests to fund.
The proposed budget includes 4% raises for sheriff’s deputies and jail corrections officers, while other departments are seeking additional money.
The county council is scheduled to vote on the 2027 budget Oct. 20.

You could always look for waste and fraud but I suppose it is easier to just keep reaising taxes until we leave.
