    Erie County ends first half of year with $15.2 million surplus

    Erie County ended the first half of 2009 with a budget surplus of $15.2 million, according to a new report.

    The surplus is almost $12 million higher than reported in May.

    In the report, released Friday, county officials attribute the extra cash to strong sales tax numbers, personnel savings and "efficiency efforts" by county departments.

    I am sure the Legislature will hire some new cheesers or find some way to piss it away.

    Or it could have a lot to do with Collins raising taxes and the County getting millions from the Stimulus bill.

    I believed he didn't raise taxes. He had to deal with mandates placed on our community by ALbany plus he had to work with the legislature.

    If collins hands weren't tied by arcane laws to protect the government workers from the harsh economic realities of the real world a lot more would be cut. It's on it's way though. Budget hole is already at 2 billion at the state level. People will get to the point of being sick and tired of thier pockets being picked.
