Montague County Commissioners finalize proposed tax rate
Montague County Commissioners finalized a proposed 2014 tax rate and 2014-15 budget, after some last minute changes in a called meeting on Aug. 15.
Earlier in the week, the court had taken steps to go with the effective tax rate and use $400,000 from cash reserves for the budget. However, after further thought several commissioners asked County Judge Tommie Sappington for a called meeting to reconsider that action. Read details of that meeting in the mid-week News.
A proposed tax rate of .3620 cents per $100 in property value will be considered in a pair of public hearings at 9 a.m. Aug. 28 and 8:45 a.m. Sept. 8, both in the county courtroom of the annex. This proposed rate is .035 cents less than the 2013 rate of .397 cents.
The following indictments were filed with the 97th District Clerk following the November session of the Montague County Grand Jury.
There were a total of 13 indictments with one sealed awaiting the arrest of a suspect.
A grand jury indictment is not evidence of guilt. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
