Hays County budget cut tax rate yet spends more
Hays County Commissioners vote to finalize the 1995 96 budget with a 2.5 cent tax rate cut to 39 cents per 100 assessed value, offset by about 41.5 million in operating funds and 15.3 million in bond proceeds. The court added roughly 100,000 for projects including a part time animal control officer and a new sheriff’s patrol car while citing future year debt concerns. Commissioner Jeff Barton notes a 10 percent population rise.
