The Johnson County Commission will be approving its new budget and Chairman Bill Novotny admitted it hasn’t been an easy process…

According to Novotny, the county has seen an increase in law enforcement and judicial operations, resulting in more cuts in other program areas.

The Commission used $1 million from the county’s reserve with hope that valuations will rebound in the coming year…

Future cuts could result in layoffs and/or loss of programs.
