School Tax Check Asked by Rural Taxpayers League
The Rural Taxpayers' League of Bexar county led by Clyde Wantland sent a letter to county commissioners and state legislators urging cross-checking of county and state tax rolls with independent school districts rolls to equalize assessments. They call for placing all taxable properties on county rolls and insist a building inspector be appointed only if all other means fail. They warn against extending building permit rules to rural areas to avoid harassing farmers and rural residents without achieving the goal.
