After more than a month of meetings, work sessions, debates, and setbacks the Butler County Fiscal Court finally has a budget for Fiscal Year 2015-16. The second reading of the budget passed by a 4-1 vote in a special session of the Court on Monday night.
After a motion to accept the budget from First District Magistrate Stevie Givens, a and a second from Third District Magistrate Chad Tyree a roll call vote was taken. Before casting the first vote, Magistrate Givens told the Court that he didn't agree with the budget, but "...we need to make this pass."
