Brownfield councilmen face tax arrears question under city charter
Brownfield City Council members Alvin Mirll and Gilbert Garza are found to owe back taxes to Terry County entities, potentially rendering them ineligible to serve. Garza lists $5,396.20 with penalties for 1987, while Mirll’s 1993-94 taxes total $1,017.22 plus penalties. The issue triggers charter provisions on arrears and could lead to removal, with mixed reactions from the council and statements from Mirll citing ongoing bankruptcy proceedings.
