The Mahaska County Board passed its budget for fiscal year 2022 on Monday (3/15).  On Wednesday (3/17), they amended that budget—in the favor of taxpayers.  The Board of Supervisors voted to lower the general supplemental levy 19 cents from $1.74 of assessed value to $1.55.  County Board Chairman Mark Groenendyk explains that lowering that part of the tax levy will get its general supplemental fund balance closer to state standards for ending balances.
