(Hillsboro, OR) -- Washington County needs to cut more than 20-million-dollars from its budget. Increases in population and operational costs for things like fuel, equipment, and health insurance caused the funding gap. This is the fifth year in a row spending will be cut. Departments have been asked to submit cuts of 10, 13, and 17 percent. The County will start considering new sources of revenue. Property tax increases are limited to three percent.
