GCCISD trustees approve 2-cent tax increase
The Goose Creek CISD Board votes a 2-cent rise in the debt service tax to fund 2005 bond projects and maintain debt payments. They plan to use about $6.1 million from bond reserves this year, with prior transfers totaling $5.6 million to cover obligations. Tax bills rise slightly for average homeowners despite lower assessed values as reserves may continue to be used to soften future increases.
