Duncanville Has 2 Tax Increase Hearings - at 8:30 a.m.

The Duncanville City Council's budget workshops to discuss how to patch a $1 million deficit are scheduled for Thursday and Friday at 8:30 a.m. (hint: they want to raise taxes)

From The Ellis County Observer:

There are two workshop meetings scheduled: one on Thursday, August 6, 2009 at 8:30 a.m. and the other on Friday, August 7, at 8:30 a.m. both will be at the library. I am not sure if this is an error but both workshops have the following items on the agenda: Call the city to verify which is definitely the date. I cannot believe that they will discuss the exact same thing on both mornings.

1. Discuss proposed budget FY 09-10

2. Consider calling a public hearing on August 18, 2009 on a tax increase due to the fact the proposed tax rate will exceed the rollback rate or the effective tax rate, whichever is
lower.
