The final 2004 Hennepin County budget is more than 50-million dollars less than this year's spending plan, but residents will still see a slight increase in taxes. The county Board of Commissioners narrowly approved the budget today (TUES), with commissioners disagreeing over whether to buffer residents from state cuts. The vote follows calls from the Minneapolis City Council members yesterday to look toward lowering taxes there next year. Minnesota Public Radio's Art Hughes reports.
