Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 60%
  • From the state 24%
  • From other local governments 8%
  • Interest, fines & other 8%

Revenue here is well above spending. That usually means Kidder collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted above.
