BUSINESS LEADERS CALL FOR ACTION FROM COUNTY

By Kathy Spencer

 

It was an opening round, of discussion, for the Commissioners Court last Monday as Bryan Jackson and other business leaders of East-land County pushed for changes in taxation and levy for the next flscal year budget. Making for a packed court room and fresh from a meeting the week before, carrying number and note laden pages, several voices spoke to the Court in questioning the huge Budget, Indigent Health Care amounts, trimming of budget by at least .5%, and lowering the tax rate another 10%.
