Lottery Revenues in County Budget

http://66.225.205.104/CF20060522.mp3

(5/22/06) When Mecklenburg County Manager Harry Jones outlined his budget proposal last week, he included plans for a 1.5% property tax cut.

WFAE's Craig Fahle spoke to County Commission Chairman Parks Helms about the controversy.
