According to the victims, the man told the customers that they were behind on their bills and tried to convince them to transfer money in order to catch up on their accounts.

Commission Chairman Carmin Lynch said no specific reductions in operating expenses were suggested by any of the commissioners who previously had said they weren't voting because of the unfairness of the budget cuts. Commissioner Jeff Brown made a motion to set the property tax rate at $1.44, saying he thought the Fund Balance for the General Fund was planned at too low a level. His motion failed 10 to 8. Commissioners did discuss combinations of a wheel tax and property tax; however no motions were made. Commissioners will meet again on August 9th.
