FARMINGTON Franklin County commissioners voted 2-1 Tuesday to again table proposed state legislation to change the law governing the county’s budget approval process.
As it stands, commissioners decide on a budget, send it to the budget panel for decisions and return it to commissioners. All three commissioners must approve any changes to the committee’s proposal and send it back to the committee. Six of the nine committee members must vote to override any changes by commissioners.
