Liberty County is $1,040,823 over budget, according to Kim McGlothlin, the county’s chief financial officer.County department heads and constitutional officers recently attended a special meeting to discuss the budget, solutions and potential cuts. “The commission voted to maintain the past year’s millage rate which is going to cost us to have a deficit in our revenues,” Board of Commissioners Chairman Donald Lovette said to start the Nov. 19 meeting. There was a proposal to raise the millage rate to cover revenue lost because the tax digest decreased as a result of lower assessed values.
