The Kankakee County Board's finance committee (Tuesday) voted to established a special subcommittee to oversee the county's spending.

Five board members will serve on the subcommittee, which will focus on reducing nonessential spending, according to the Daily-Journal.

The creation of the subcommittee comes less than a week after county board Chairman Mike Bossert informed county employees "more cuts are coming in one form or another."

A recent assessment of finances showed the county falling deeper into a budget hole.
