From the Mayor

I sure wish I could complain about all the rain we’ve been having but it’s just the opposite. It hasn’t been this dry for quite some time. It would be a great time to have a water well for our yard. I know our yard and plants would greatly appreciate one. And, I know our farmers and ranchers need it more than ever right now. Keep on PRAYING for it and I’m sure God will send us our share eventually! He always does! 08/10/2023 12:00 AM

Governor Abbott Statement On Passage Of Historic Property Tax Cuts

Governor Abbott Statement On Passage Of Historic Property Tax Cuts

AUSTIN - Governor Greg Abbott released a statement on the Texas Legislature’s passage of historic property tax cut legislation during Special Session #2: “I made a promise to Texans during my campaign that the State of Texas would use at least $13.5 billion from our historic budget surplus to provide substantial relief to property taxpayers across Texas. Today, we will deliver even more with over $18 billion in property tax cuts. The Texas House and Senate fulfilled our promise with an agreement that delivers a comprehensive, long-lasting solution to increasingly burdensome property tax bills. I thank my partners in the Texas Legislature for coming together to honor the best interests of hardworking Texans who want to own their property—not rent it from the government. I look forward to signing this legislation into law to provide Texans with the largest property tax cut in Texas history.” 07/20/2023 12:00 AM
