Cobb County Budget for 2011 - $328 million

About 50% or $156 million are salaries only.

About 17% increase in revenue is planned to be on licenses and permits (for what?).

About 5% of the expected revenue increase fines & forfeitures (from what?).

About a 5% decrease in property taxes & decrease in Federal & State funding.

Other notes: 

Powder Spring Station (just south of Sandtown & Powder Springs Road) intersection is planed to be County offices but will eventually become Cobb Senior services facility.

Public Safety office touts its new public safety records system expects to improve ticketing & data systems.

Note:  I don't know how much of this will be misspent like the street light funds were diverted to other non-related expenditures.

References to products and services are not a specific endorsement, but the user must perform their due diligence and investigate whether the product or service is right for them. I welcome any or all comments that would help others.
