Macon County Commissioners 05-20-2013

**update 1.51pm** Here is a copy of the proposed budget:

2014 Admin Recommended Budget

Here is the video of Monday night's meeting of the Macon County Commissioners that took place in Highlands, NC. I have also included the public agenda for your convenience and the press kit in the interest of promoting transparency. No other local media organization makes this information available to the citizens of Macon County.



If you are interested in just the budget message that was delivered by county manager Jack Horton, please read this article. To date, I have not been able to obtain a copy of the proposed budget and am continuing to seek one so that I might be able to share it with you.
