Bowie City Council adopts 2017-18 budget
By BARBARA GREEN
The final public hearing on a proposed 2017 City of Bowie tax rate increase received no comments Tuesday night, nor did the first reading of an ordinance to adopt the 2017-18 city budget which was approved.
A vote on the tax rate and second reading of the budget ordinance will be on the Sept. 19 council agenda.
The proposed rate is $0.53 cents per $100 in property value, which is .0173 cents above the 2016 rate of .5127 cents. This is a 3.37 percent increase.
For a property valued at $100,000 the new rate would increase your annual tax bill by $17.30.

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.
