Kettering says the task force looked at all possible funding ideas…..

Kettering says the task force came up with some alternatives….

Kettering says without new money, they will see a budget deficit as soon as next year…..

Commissioners are facing a deadline of mid-July to initiate any new taxes that would be effective next year.
