Culpepper policy to stay. Hayes notes Baytown ties
Hayes, tied to Culpepper through long service, vows Culpepper policy remains unchanged as he praises the community. The article recalls Culpepper leadership lineage since 1924 with Yount, the latest in a string of managers.

Moody's Investors Service kept the rating after Huffman district officials met with the agency about a tax dispute.

The district and two corporations refused to pay about 70000 in 1971 taxes, suing claiming excessive taxes and arbitrary assessment methods threaten the district's financial standing.
