Cuyahoga Countys proposed 2023 budget faces scrutiny due to unrealistic assumptions, particularly regarding the Sheriffs Departments overtime costs. A potential $13 million deficit looms, with the Sheriffs Department projecting $23 million in overtime expenses this year and $25 million next year. The countys budget only allocates $18 million for these costs, highlighting a significant discrepancy. This budget disagreement could lead to serious implications, including support for abolishing the county charter and a return to the old commissioner system. Urgent action is needed to address these budget issues and prevent larger problems down the line.
