Ask Your Freeholder: The County Budget

Got a problem and need an answer from Camden County government? We’ve got your solution. 

Ask Your Freeholder is a weekly feature from Collingswood Patch in which you get to ask questions and get them answered here every Friday by the Board of Chosen Freeholders of Camden County—the county's highest body of elected officials.

Just send your questions to bill.duhart@patch.com or ask it in our comment box below the story and we’ll take the first three every week and get one of the seven freeholders to personally answer your question for this column.

Here's this week's question:

Question, from Patch: What's the specific time frame for the county to introduce this year's budget and will the county hold any informational hearings for the public on the budget? If so, what are the times, dates and locations of the meetings?

Answer, from Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli Jr.:

We will be introducing our 2011 budget in late April or early May. At that time, we will post the budget on our website, www.camdencounty.com, and offer an explanation of its main components, as we do every year. We have our last several budgets posted online.
