Thirteen of the twenty remaining Greene County Commissioners spent most of an hour long meeting Tuesday evening looking over the 109 page proposed budget document for fiscal year 2027.
The nearly one hundred forty million dollar budget, which includes sixty six point two million for Greene County schools, will be presented at the full County Commission meeting July 20th.

Commissioners not in attendance were Tim White, Nick Gunter, Chase Murray, Jason Cobble, Gary Shelton, John Waddle and Teddy Lawing.
The budget document as presented requires no property tax increase with inside and outside tax rates the same.
