Wasco County’s budget committee is in the process of reviewing the County’s financial plan for the 2023-24 fiscal year.  County Commissioner Scott Hege says one of their challenges is dealing with the rising costs of business.  He notes this year’s general fund budget is around $36 million, up by 8.2 percent.  Hege points out increased revenues from Google projects are a big part of that.  The committee’s next meeting is set for Thursday.  The County Commission will get the budget for approval in June.
