Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, May 9, 2018 Additions and corrections to county budget article An article in last week’s Gazette-Times about Mor- row County’s proposed 2018-19 budget contained an inaccuracy and some incomplete information. In the “Grants to Cit- ies” fund, which is money granted to cities by the county, the article did not mention it was increased by $200,000, for a total of $400,000 for the coming year. It was stated that $50,000 was given to the school district to fund a behavioral classroom. This was incorrect. The class- room was not approved by the budget committee and this amount was removed from the budget.
