Let’s adhere to County Judge’s tax rate budget

For the first time in recent history, we have a County Judge that submitted a “no tax increase budget” in an attempt to provide relief to Hays County residents. Now we get to watch other elected officials attempt to undermine that budget, and force a property tax increase upon everyone.

Elected County Constables are again asking for a significant pay increase, to more than $94,000. Keep in mind that in 2018, their salaries were increased from $68,000 to $74,000 (Constables requested $94,000 then).
