The Newton County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a balanced budget for fiscal year 2010 on Wednesday night, which will keep the millage rate at 9.73 and will cut approximately 16 jobs. The biggest budget adjustment came from the Sheriff’s Office, which will not see any increased personnel or money next year but will instead stay at the same funding level as the FY2009 budget. This change cut nearly $1.82 million from the remaining $4.98 million deficit.
