Even though gasoline prices have dropped significantly during the past fiscal year, the Cannon County Commissioners questioned a budget amendment request for gas during their regular monthly meeting held Saturday at the Courtroom of the Cannon County Courthouse Last year $8500 was spent on gasoline, there was $7200 budgeted for gasoline. Currently the County Vehicles are using the Co-op in Woodbury. The budget amendment request was for $5,000 more meaning that the County might spend $12,000 in gas. The vehicles involved in this budget amendment are for the Cannon County Rescue Squad, Cannon County Litter Control Truck, County Maintenance Van, and the Extension Office. The commissioners tabled the budget request amendment until the Commissioners find out what each one of those groups use separately in the budgeted amendment In other items on the agenda
