Ind. Courts - "St. Joseph County prosecutor's budget targeted"
Nancy Sulok reports today in the South Bend Tribune:
County officials aimed their budget ax at the prosecutor's office Wednesday night, and there was no mincing of words. * * *The occasion was the first of several planned sessions designed to trim between $5 million and $6 million from the 2009 county budget. A mandate to all departments to trim their budgets by 8 percent resulted in some savings, and county Auditor Peter Mullen said "we're halfway there.'' Additional cuts of around $2.6 million remain to be made, he said.
But the prosecutor's office was one that did not make the 8 percent cuts, either in the criminal division or the child support division. In the criminal division his 2009 budget cut only 3.9 percent, while in the child support division the cut was only 2.3 percent.
