About $61 million will be spent as described earlier. 2.How much revenue will we have and where will it come from? All Combined, about $58.5 million, which will be made up of approximately 54% State funding, 41% Property Taxes, and 5% Other Sources. 3.Will our budget be balanced? This is unlikely. However, possible future events not included in our projections may have material effects on our budget. 4.What does all this mean to the taxpayer? The total tax bill for 2012 for the typical homeowner should be the same as in 2011. Owners of rental or commercial property may see a small increase. 5.What is our long-term outlook? Uncertain – Our expectations have been permanently lowered in regard to state funding. Additional cutbacks may be needed and those already made must be maintained.
