County mulls tax rate change and higher assessments
Fullerton says raising the tax rate won’t boost general fund revenue due to a 30 cent cap while an assessment ratio increase to 32 percent could add about 7.4 million in 1977. County officials also consider a vehicle tax that could bring 25 million to the general fund amid an 86.1 million general fund budget augmented by 14 million federal revenue sharing. Rabbits face predation from minks foxes weasels and hawks in local wildlife notes.
