Lowndes County approved a $108 million budget on June 25 for the fiscal year 2019. The budget is approved based on the total forecasted budget of county expenditure which is estimated at $ 108 million. The funding will be divided into primary domains of education, health care, shelter, criminal justice, public relief, and emergency situation. The secondary domains include spending on the reinforcement of public infrastructure but that is situation dependent. The categories included in the primary domain are all basic human rights and they cannot be denied at any cost. New policies are created for updating the education and health sector because previously they have not been prioritized. The education programs include more public schools and the provision of better services for current schools. A new community college is also under the planning phase. The health sector requires up-gradation of wages and incentive programs for medical and paramedical staff at the public healthcare facilities and hospitals. Some infrastructural changes are also needed which will be covered under the current budget allocation. A food program is under pipeline for the provision of food for school children, workers in public jobs, and for the homeless. These food programs will be integrated with food banks but the system will be reinvented and modernized as per recommendations of nutritionists and health experts. The goal is that the food banks should never run short of funds and food is present for the needy all the time. Moreover, the criminal justice system needs major funding to improve rehabilitation facilities. Public relief programs will be for the elderly, single mothers, orphanages, the unemployed, homeless, and people below the poverty line. This program will ensure the provision of basic rights for all the needy and resource-less people. Lastly, some amount will be allocated for the emergency program which will be for unseen and unpredictable cases including both man-made and natural disasters (Lynn, 2019).
