That’s How It Works

Dawn Lavanway had a question.

During a recent audit presentation, Lavanway was confused by a chart. On the chart, the auditor showed a drop in projected revenue. Lavanway asked about the steep drop on the revenue line.

The auditor awkwardly stopped and looked at Finance Manager Bradley Rizzo. Rizzo calmly explained to Lavanway that the drop is a result of the chump change tax cut that the Board approved. You know the one. It’s the one that saves average folks two bucks per month. It is also the one that costs the county millions in revenue. Remember that one?

Cut taxes = Cut Revenue

Yeah. That’s how it works.
