GET surcharge fails, here come the cuts

[Chunkster]

As I understand it, the county already taxes unpermitted structures, so that won't work. If the local economy really takes a long tank, some of those county employees will either face layoffs or reduced hours. During the Great Recession, they had furlough Fridays and it wasn't the end of anybody's world. Of course, this may or may not end up being worse. Time will tell.
