Darren Doyle, story:
It's an all-too familiar story: Edmonson County doesn't have a surplus of funding and with large increases with jail costs among others, Judge Wil Cannon told the fiscal court today that every penny saved counts, and unfortunately, that also means cutting back some charitable donations.

Cannon said the county has regularly given donations to various worthy causes over the years and has generally tried to accommodate most any cause within reason. Some of the regular and recent donations included:
  • American Red Cross, $1000
  • Kids on the Block, $500
  • Senior Food Pantry, $1000
  • The Southern KY Film Assc, $1500
  • Backpack Food Program, DAV, Feeding America and other various charities
The county voted to set a budget of $4000 for charitable donations for the upcoming fiscal year, and put a much closer look on where donations go.  Cannon said he realized the budget amount wasn't a huge difference, but it was simply one area of the budget that could be tightened.
