Newton County officials on Thursday reported last month's sales tax revenues were up $9700 ($360K vs $351K) over last year. It marked the first month in 12 that revenues were not declining. Overall, the county is down 5% for the year. Officials had planned on (and budgeted for) 2% growth in revenues for the year. Despite the uptick, County Commissioner Jerry Carter is anticipating December to be $450,000, down from $502,653 last year.
According to Carter, next year's budget plan is flat. Budgets are due November 17th.
