Counties approve tax increase after errors plus new health posts and raises

County commissioners in several states approved or revisited local government funding and compensation measures. In Georgia’s Baldwin County, commissioners held another public hearing after state-identified technical errors in the millage-rate documents and approved the tax increase again, drawing residents’ questions about transparency, county debt and the process. Wahkiakum County commissioners in Washington approved an agreement creating two full-time public health nursing positions tied to a rural health grant. In Pennsylvania, Lycoming County commissioners approved salaries for newly installed District Attorney Martin Wade and First Assistant District Attorney Phoebe Yates, with Wade serving until the next election. Tioga County commissioners approved 3% raises for elected officials for 2029–2034, matching the increase for county employees.
