Time Tells On County Finances And Road Tax Proposal
The county judge faces overspending fears as the road and bridge fund runs about $20 000 overdrawn. Warrants are discounted 8 to 12 percent to be cashed. A $10 000 borrow was needed at 6 percent to cover obligations due this month amid rumors of a special 15 cent road tax after the primary. If approved the tax would raise about $8 000 yearly, but funds would likely fund existing debt over three years leaving little for new projects.
