Wasco County Commissioners are starting to look ahead toward preparing a budget for the 2022-23 Fiscal Year.  And one of the large topics of discussion is what to do with over $5 million in American Rescue Plan Act dollars, half of which is in hand and the rest coming soon.  Commissioner Scott Hege says the federal guidelines for use of the funds gives them quite a bit of leeway, and it is very wide open for use as revenue replacement.  He noted other agencies have expressed interest in receiving a portion of the funds.  Hege says the final payment of those funds will be coming in the next month or so.
