It’s nice to know the system still works.The Barton County Commission Monday morning approved the county’s 2015 budget. It is a spending package that calls for a 1.37 percent increase in spending and a 1.723 increase in the mill levy.Now, one can approve or not of the spending hike or approve or not of the tax hike. But, that is a debate left for another day.This year’s budget was presented to the commission three weeks late.
