Taxpayers League Backed by Massive Amarillo Meeting
The Amarillo Taxpayers' League formed last night with 500 attendees in a heated mass meeting. J. Ray initially refused the chair but was unanimously re-elected president. The group, favoring economy and efficiency in government, elected Bob Ames as vice president and Jim Bush as secretary and treasurer, with a 8,984,000 dollar bonded debt for Potter County, the city, and schools cited as a key concern. Rep. Clyde Warwick outlined the budget law requiring hearings, while talks urged broad participation and future sessions in about two weeks.
