“Clay County’s inability to generate the revenue to offset the mandates is what’s caused this to come to a head,” Strong said Thursday. “The straw that broke the camel’s back was really the Affordable Care Act for us and it has made it very difficult for us to have our employees properly covered and meet the mandates of the law. That was going to require new revenue and the commission felt like they couldn’t do that through a tax increase.”
