The Wasco County Commission has adopted the County budget for 2017-18 fiscal year. The budget does not change substantially from the current fiscal year. Commissioner Scott Hege notes sustainability was a concern that was looked at during preparation of the budget, and he described the prognosis for future years as “fair.” Commissioners made a slight budget adjustment to the document that came out of committee, adding $2,500 to the County’s share of funding for the Fort Dalles Museum to make it $22,500, matching the City of The Dalles’ contribution.
