Ramsey County commissioners approved a series of maneuvers Tuesday to deal with a $250,000 revenue shortfall in the sheriff's budget this year and the potential for a similar shortfall next year. None of the changes imperils the 2010 or 2011 budgets or will affect property taxes, several county officials said.
