Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk introduced the 2002 county budget Monday.
The $381.6 million budget contains a 4.55 percent tax levy increase, which Falk said is the combined rate of the county's population growth and inflation.

'Originally the staff had recommended that we get a 38 percent cut, which is $36,000. Kathleen Falk restored that for us,' Konkel said. 'We are relatively pleased that we didn't get the huge cut that we were slated to get.'
