Commissioners Approve Budget For 2022-2023
The Roosevelt County budget for the 2022-2023 fiscal year isn’t much different than in the previous fiscal year, according to county commissioners.
Commissioner Gordon Oelkers said there is no extra mills and no tax increase for county taxpayers.
Oelkers said the sheriff office’s budget is a bit larger with the addition of a deputy and a jail employee positions.
