Escambia Approves New Budget Without Tax Increase
September 26, 2014
The Escambia County Commission has approved a $385 million for the 2014-2015 fiscal year, up $20 million from the current fiscal year. The increase, officials said, comes from increased property values, and there won’t be an increase in millage rates.
The budget included $750,000 to hire 15 new deputies requested by Sheriff David Morgan, and 3-per cent cost of living raise for all county employees.
