Jefferson in the black for 2009
The City of Jefferson ended 2009 in the black, according to the town’s recently released audit.
According to the audit, Jefferson netted $761,000 in its General Fund on the year, pushing its reserve funds to over $2.8 million.
In the city’s water and sewer fund, the town had a net loss of $260,000 on the year, however, over $671,000 of expenses were non-cash outlays.
In the general fund, most of the city’s revenue came from taxes with $2.9 million in property taxes. That was $220,000 more than originally anticipated. However, city sales tax income was below budget by $212,400.
Licenses and permit income was also below budget by $187,800 while fine and forfeiture income was $80,000 below budget.
On the expense side, the city’s police department was the town’s largest expense at $1.69 million, followed by the parks department at $1.1 million. Both were under budget.

BTW, saying I'm an "anti-government liberal" is something of an oxymoron. There's no such thing.
How many parties has your boss thrown for you just because you did what he/she pays you to do?
I'm betting you work for the government.
