NEW ALBANY, Ind. (WHAS11) – Six of Floyd County’s top leaders took a defiant stand in a meeting Monday evening against budget cuts totaling $1.2 million across various departments.
Three of the county judges including Judge Susan Orth, chief probation officer Rexann Farris, prosecutor Keith Henderson and Sheriff Frank Loop stood in front of the County Council stating firmly they’ve made all the cuts they can.
This comes after the state told the county earlier this year it is $1.2 million overdue in part to some high profile cases including the murder trial of former Indiana State Trooper David Camm that’s still costing the county money.
