Greenwood County History

Greenwood County History

What is to be the lease price per acre, or the price per head for grazing steers during the season of 1913? This is a question in Greenwood County that causes the Wilson governmental policy and all other so styled public programs, to pale in comparison. It is generally conceded that grazing is going to come pretty high, but how high? Will it be $1.50, $1.75 or $2 per acre? Is the man who has the pasture going to charge the fellow who has the cattle $6, $7 or $8 per head? 09/12/2023 11:00 PM

Greenwood County Commissioners Revisited Discussion Of Local Ad Valorem Tax Reduction Fund

During the September 5 Greenwood County Commission meeting, Commissioner Ben Fox revisited discussion brought to the floor during the county budget hearing regarding tax dollars that entities have not been receiving. Fox shared that Greenwood County last received a Local Ad Valorem Tax Reduction Fund allocation in 2002, with the two checks received totaling $152,691. Though this remains in state statute, this allocation was stopped in 2003. When asked what could be done, Fox encouraged people to reach out to district representatives and senators in regards to the issue. Reading material provided by the commissioners, received from the Kansas County Commissioners Association (KCCA), notes that this funding could have greatly reduced tax increases. 09/12/2023 11:00 PM
