The Wahkiakum County Eagle - Established as The Skamokawa Eagle in 1891

On March 19 at noon, Claire Hauge, Director for the Cowlitz County Office of Financial Management will discuss what drives budget decisions. It can be hard to see how the county budget works and even more difficult to understand why money is spent the way it is.

Headlines in the paper and misunderstanding of government processes can lead to greater confusion. Hauge will clarify what revenue restrictions exist and how budgetary decisions are made.

This program, sponsored by Washington State University Extension will be held for free at the Cowlitz Co. Administration Building, Room 300, 207 4th Ave North, Kelso.
