Spokane County to eliminate all vacant positions, identify additional budget cuts

(The Center Square) – Spokane County is anticipating tax revenue shortfalls into next year, which county officials say will require eliminating all currently vacant positions and identifying other cuts countywide.

The Board of County Commissioners made its intention to cut the positions and other items clear after sending a letter to each department head and elected officials earlier today. The move comes as the county enters its 2025 budget process, which will wrap up in December.
