Commissioners meet Monday at 2:00 p.m. to review the budget outline; a formal vote is set for Thursday, December 17. Forsyth County is looking at almost $12 million in increased expenditures. To offset the increases, the budget includes 12 furlough days for county employees, including seven holidays, as well as higher costs to employees for health insurance. There are no raises or merit bonuses in the budget, either.
