Comptroller Bullock announced a 19.9 million dollar city sales tax rebate, with Cameron at 9185.36 dollars the county's largest. Rockdale 7227.01, Thorndale 3080.19, Rosebud 2541.63 and Rogers 694.51 followed as cities receive proportionate shares from delinquent collections. The plan shifts the five percent sales tax to give cities their due faster, ending the prior practice of cities receiving after state claims are fully paid.
