Salary Bill Threatens Milam County Finances
Since Texas abolished the fee system counties must fund salaries from general funds. Milam county spent 18000 last year to pay salaries formerly covered by fees. At 6 percent interest this would grow to 242000 in ten years, a burden for taxpayers and a disaster for smaller counties, says County Auditor C. R. Isaacs who fears surplus buildup is unlikely.
