Saginaw County finds $477,000 it didn't know it had to help address budget deficit | MLive.com:
"Saginaw County Register of Deeds Mildred Dodak was the first of several county officials to speak to the Board of Commissioners on Aug. 6 during a meeting regarding the 2013-14 fiscal year budget.
Though Dodak said her office cannot afford to be cut any further, she did offer up an unexpected funding source that could help county officials address the more than $2 million budget deficit Saginaw County is facing.

Dodak said her office started offering records through its website created in 2006 and put in place a $5 search fee for accessing those records. Since that time, she said, those fees have stacked up to $477,525."

Plenty of time to assure us that cuts would be devastating.
Not so much time to find a HALF A MILLION!!!!!!!
