Randall Commissioners Hike Tax Rate 13 Cents
Randall County commissioners boosted the tax rate by 13 cents to 1.05 per 100 of assessed valuation plus a 30 cent road bond retirement levy and a 42 cent state levy, totaling 1.77 per 100. The increase aims to raise about 28,600 with full collection, given 90 percent typical compliance, as officials plan funds for a new office building, courthouse annex, jail, and expressway projects. Clarence Beckman urged using the 30 cent expressway levy rather than the valuation rise, arguing funds should stay local. The action allocates 5 cents to jury, 25 to road and bridge, 25 to general, 25 to courthouse and jail, and 25 to sinking fund, with road and bridge seeing the 13 cent lift. Additional right-of-way for expressway near Palo Duro Creek and WTSC stadium access prompted land acquisitions totaling 6.5 acres from multiple sellers. No decision was reached on a letter from Dist. Judge E. E. Gordon.
