CONYERS — Cuts to Rockdale County’s 2011 budget appear likely as department budget requests are running about $1.4 million over the target set by Commission Chairman Richard Oden.

Oden set the county’s 2009 budget of $53.6 million as the benchmark for the 2011 budget. During a budget hearing Monday, the budget requests from county departments were hovering around $55 million.

Budget hearings continue today, and work will continue toward a final 2011 budget to be voted on in December. Until then, commissioners said they will work on finding cuts anywhere they can find them.
