The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners on Thursday night voted to raise its millage rate, but not by as much as recommended.

The board unanimously approved setting the total rate at 8.298 mills, which is up from the current 7.703 mills, but still considered a "revenue neutral rollback" because of the declining tax digest.

The original recommendation from the county staff was to set the rate at 8.313 mills to generate enough revenue to maintain services.
