Clifton Council vows tax cut after equalization hearing
At a Tuesday Board of Equalization hearing at City Hall Clifton officials promised a minimum 10 cent per 100 valuation tax cut and more if the budget allows, as residents protested reassessments from a city reappraisal. Mayor Jim B Smith noted the 1965 precedent and Texas law guiding fair market value and urged a realistic budget while addressing rising city costs. The session extended into the night and will resume Thursday with 15 to 20 written objections also under review.
