This is an interesting article from Transylvania County:
Commissioner Daryle Hogsed was the lone dissenting voice on Monday, voting against adopting the $44.5 million county budget for the new fiscal year, which begins July 1.
Hogsed opposed the number of new hirings for the Public Safety Facility being built on Morris Road in Brevard and said the Board of Education should have cut deeper into programs outside of the classrooms and made a smaller reduction in the budgeting for teachers.
The county budget includes an addition of 19 people for the detention facility and one telecommunicator and one maintenance position. The cost of these additional personnel and other costs associated with the new facility is $953,346.
