KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Johnson County, Kansas, Commissioners approved a $1.6 billion budget Thursday morning.
The vote was 5-2.
The budget called for adding seven more sheriff’s deputies and two more 911 dispatchers.
The county has said the average property tax bill would go up by 2%.
That translates to an extra $23 on a $385,000 home.
