I didn't see that budgets detail, as I don't sit on the Madison County Board any longer, but just be aware that the County carrying over a surplus is a form of abatement, sans the paperwork.

Money carried over (never levied) will not show up on your tax bill; we already paid for it once, right?

If we don't spend this money up this year...how will we ask for more next year?
Should every government operate as Springfield does?
