City council refuses tax cut without state action
A two and a half wall reduction in county and school district levies was ordered but the city council will not act unless the state tax is cut first. The state tax doubled this year while the city levy hardly rose. Commissioners ordered an adjustment to tax books, and county treasurer Connell Rogers refused to turn over nineteen volumes to the county clerk, citing bondsmen protection. An attorney general opinion or supreme court test case may be needed to resolve the matter.
