Correction to FY14 Budget Story

We have a correction from the story we did yesterday on the Franklin County Budget for FY14.

In the story we reported that the Probate Judge’s office received a budget increase of $25,000.  That number was based on an initial  General Fund budget proposal obtained by WLHR News from the county manager.

However, according to a final list approved by the board of commissioners, the Probate Judge’s budget actually decreased from $214,818 in fiscal 2013 to $205,559 for fiscal 2014.

According to Probate Judge Ken Eavenson, the change in numbers from the initial budget proposal we reported Thursday has to do with a miscalculation of figures last year by the previous probate judge and the county. We apologize for any confusion.
