At last Tuesday’s meeting of the Trigg County Fiscal Court (Kentucky), magistrates and Judge Executive Berlin Moore approved the first reading of the budget which is expected to cut funding to some of Trigg County’s most prized assets, senior citizens and the Trigg County Extension office.
Moore attributed the cuts to legislation that is being passed down by the federal government through the states that cuts funding to senior citizen programs."From our standpoint, the state is cutting back senior programs," Moore said. "A lot of the homemaking has already been cut back, the amount of hours, that kind of thing.
"We really haven’t really had to cut anything excessively right now. One of the things we are worried about is the extension office. They asked for $90 thousand but we only budgeted $80 (thousand)," Moore said.
