So let us see what the HSO calls a cut;

An Oct. 4 letter from the Wisconsin Department of Administration notified the county the cap is $12,875,705 – about $15,000 more than the amount announced in late August.

* The committee accepted $529,596 worth of cuts offered by the Human Services Department and directed the department to make another $319,651 in cuts.

Since those are cuts in proposed increases, the department will actually get a 3.487-percent increase in property tax levy money.

That means the agency will get $1,704,313 from the property tax levy to help fund a 2007 budget of about $10 million.

* No new personnel will be added in 2007. That cut $329,596 from budget proposals.

* The Sheriff’s Department will get $4,665,521 – the same tax levy support it got for 2006. This is an $83,000 cut in the department’s most recent proposal.

* The Highway Department will cut the administration fees (about $10,000) it typically charges to other departments. Its property tax levy will be increased about 2.9 percent to $2,996,662, but the department has agreed to send $100,000 to the county’s contingency fund. The transactions were arranged this way to protect state funding.

* The committee cut $46,350 from requests for University Extension. The department will get $256,653 in county tax money.

* A total of $537,836 will be added to $806,743 of uncommitted money in the county’s contingency fund.

I don’t see any cuts here, do you?
