"The Lake County Board approved the Fiscal Year 2008 Budget at its regular meeting on November 13, 2007. The total budget is $450,022,261. While this represents an increase of 5.86% from FY2007, citizens should be aware this includes revenue that is generated from other sources, not from local taxpayers - like state and federal grants for the health department. Also, the increase includes millions of dollars for one-time capital improvements using cash available in the County coffers." Source: Communications@co.lake.il.us
