JANESVILLE—The Rock County Board approved this morning a 2008 budget that was $54,000 more than the one proposed by Administrator Craig Knutson in October.

The change was the addition of a full-time working supervisor at the Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport.

Knutson had denied the addition, compromising with the promotion of one employee and the addition of a seasonal worker. The finance committee agreed with Knutson, but it wasn’t enough, some supervisors said.

The total tax levy is $53.4 million, up 3.27 percent from 2007. The tax rate is $5.43, down 2.9 percent from 2007.
