Duval County Taxpayers Form League To Probe Spending
About 60 taxpayers in Alice formed the Duval County Taxpayers League after county officials approved a 1974 budget of 4.2 million dollars, the first budget disclosure in 12 years. County Judge Archer Parr rejected protests from 100 San Diego residents as late, saying rolls were closed and complaints should have come at an earlier meeting. The group questions why Duval spends more than Webb County, which has fewer residents, and seeks scrutiny of county spending and budgeting by commissioners.
