From Thursday’s (Nov 20, 2008) Post Star:
“The Washington County Board of Supervisors on Friday will weigh slicing $264,583 from the tentative 2009 county budget in order to chisel down a projected 8 percent tax levy increase.
Items on the chopping block include closing the two county-run beaches in Jackson and Dresden.
The beaches at Lake Lauderdale in Jackson and at Huletts Landing on Lake George in Dresden would be closed for the 2009 summer season, which runs from May through September, saving the county $78,624.”
