Lake County homeowners could find out how much their taxes will go up today.

At one point, the millage would have raised taxes 18 percent. Commissioners trimmed some from the budget and are now asking for an 11 percent increase.

The budget represents a raise for deputies who have gone without for several years.

A commissioner plans to present a plan that keeps their raise in place without raising taxes, but would delay some expenses other commissioner said have been put off for too long during the recession.

She plans to present it at that public hearing, which begins at 5:05 p.m. in commission chambers, 315 W. Main St.
