Monroe County Finance Director Libby Hicks presented county commissioners with a hopefully finalized budget during a workshop Wednesday, saying the county is in good shape.

"We had more revenue than expenses last year," Hicks said. "Overall, 100 percent of money due has come in. That doesn't mean every department has collected everything, but overall we're at 100 percent."

Hicks said the extra revenue was collected in such places as Circuit/Criminal Court ($116,000), sales tax ($112,000) and property tax ($226,000).
