到2026年,巴特勒州发展残疾机构面临13.3百万美元的赤字,原因是尽管成本和需求不断上升,但资金却停滞不前。 Butler County's developmental disabilities agency faces a $13.3M deficit by 2026 due to stagnant funding despite rising costs and demand.

Butler县发展残疾委员会宣布出现财政紧急情况,预计到2026年将出现1 330万美元的赤字,原因是费用上涨和收入停滞。 The Butler County Board of Developmental Disabilities declared a fiscal emergency, projecting a $13.3 million deficit by 2026 due to rising costs and stagnant revenue. 尽管该机构从2004年的250人增加到了4,200多人,但自2004年以来,该机构的资金没有增加,因为过时的财产税没有反映住房价值增长110%。 Despite serving over 4,200 individuals—up from 250 in 2004—the agency’s funding hasn’t increased since 2004, as outdated property tax levies fail to reflect an 110% rise in home values. 它已经削减了210万美元,减少了工作人员工时,冻结了薪金,并保留了空缺职位。 It has already cut $2.1 million by reducing staff hours, freezing salaries, and leaving positions open. 官员计划于2026年5月寻求征收新的1.8至2毫升税,从2027年开始,每年可征收2 440万至2 640万美元,预计明年会因县住宅豁免而损失250 000美元。 Officials plan to seek a new 1.8- to 2-mill levy in May 2026, which could bring in $24.4 to $26.4 million annually starting in 2027, and expect to lose $250,000 next year due to a county homestead exemption.
