Callaway County health, road departments face funding issues

Two of Callaway County's largest departments - health, and road and bridge - are facing unusual budget needs for the 2012 budget year.

Gasoline and rock costs are increasing for the road and bridge department, and state funding for the county health department has been cut sharply.

Callaway County Presiding Commissioner Gary Jungermann said the road and bridge department has much of its funding coming from other sources, but it appears it will be necessary again to divert some money from the county's general revenue fund for use on county roads.
