FaCoTx Com Court 9/20/2023 - It's 4-H Day In Fayette County

There have been no changes to the 2024 budget, and it was adopted today by a 3/2 over the objections of the Court’s two [apparent] fiscal conservatives.  Le sigh…  They increased the property tax rates as much as they could this year (4.7%) and increased spending by 8.9%.  There were many public comments related to increased spending and dwindling fund balances and members of the Court finally responded.  Also, don’t miss my response to being removed from Commissioners Court on 8/24, the comparison of the libertarian, liberal and conservative perspectives, it's Constitution Week in Fayette County and watch a bonus video explanation of tax rates.
