Calling it a "starting point,'' Sheriff Richard Nugent late Monday submitted a $33 million spending plan that holds the line on expenses at last year's level.
It does not, however, include the $4.2 million in cuts that the county has requested that he make to help the county bridge a budget shortfall.
The proposed budget includes no pay raises for employees and no additional deputies for the fourth year in a row, despite a 12 percent increase in the crime rate and a growing number of calls for service.
