Effingham County commissioners have approved a fiscal year 2015 budget that shaves about 1 percent of spending from the current financial plan. In a 5-0 vote, commissioners approved a $26.81 million budget, which is about $23,000 less than the FY14 budget. The FY15 budget, which goes into effect July 1, includes an additional $50,000 for the county’s two branches of the Live Oak Public Library System.
