The Knox County Council finished setting an estimated 20 million dollar budget yesterday for various County departments. The four days of meetings took place in the Conference Room at the Knox County Sheriff’s Department.
Councilman Mike Morris occupied that building, as part of his decade as Knox County Sheriff. He knows from experience on both ends that cooperation is the key to a solid budget process.
The budget does contain raises for County workers, and increased for all County departments. However, some “wish list” items for various departments were not granted for 2025. Council president Rich Chattin says many of the requests they hear are for equipment purchases.
The finalized budget will now be submitted for review by the Indiana Department of Local Government Fina
