Grand Saline Council Sets Proposed City Tax Rate
The Grand Saline City Council proposes a tax rate of 5220 cents per $100 valuation, about 10 cents less than last year, with a 3 percent salary increase for city workers. The first public hearing is set for Tuesday at 7 p.m. Detailed impacts show a $30 000 home paying $189.36 now and $157.20 under the proposal, while a $50 000 home would change from $315.60 to $262. The council originally eyed a 6 percent raise but that would have blown the budget by $32,000.
