Hawkins County Leaders Are Finding Themselves Barely In The Red This Year. The County’s 2018-19 Fiscal Year Budget Hearings Are Underway And So Far, The County Has A Deficit Of 56-Thousand Dollars In The First Draft Of The Spending Plan. This Is Still Far Better Than This Time Last Year When The County Was Looking At A 2-Million Dollar Deficit. A Final Budget Isn’t Expected Until Later Next Month.
