Van Zandt County Judge pushes tax decrease plan
County Judge Richard Lawrence released a six page position paper proposing a 2.25 percent tax cut as Van Zandt County faces a budget shortfall from inmate contract losses. He defended the move by arguing taxpayers were overcharged and cited last year’s tax increase and $115,000 in unnecessary revenue. The paper notes prior attempts to shift $240,000 from road and bridge funds to the general fund were rejected.
