Amador County 2007-2008 Final Budget Approved
“Continued restraint” is how staff described the
Amador County 2007 – 2008 final budget approved by the county Supervisors at Tuesday’s Board
meeting. County coffers ended last year about $837,000 higher than
anticipated and the final budget includes some increases from the draft version
including $20,000 for grant writing contracts and almost $33,000 more for
Amador County Recreation Agency. The revised budget also restored the Supervisors’
$18,000 travel reimbursement fund and reinstated their discretionary fund for
recreation projects to $10,000 for each district.

House of Representitives Making Moves to Overhaul the FHA
This week the US House of Representatives is
making moves to overhaul the FHA, or Federal Housing Administration, with the
passage of a piece of legislation. The Bill, 348-72, backs mortgages for
moderately priced homes. The bill also will allow some borrowers to refinance
existing mortgages through the FHA as a way to prevent them from defaulting on
their loans. The House also passed an amendment to the legislation sponsored by
Rep. Dennis Cardoza, D-Merced, that would raise the loan limit to the lower of
either 125 percent of an area's median home price or 175 percent of the
national loan limit.
