Two Republican Harris County commissioners missed meetings to vote on a tax rate increase. Now, millions in new spending won't happen.
Two republican Harris County commissioners missed meetings to vote on a tax rate increase. Now, millions in new spending won't happen.After weeks of back-and-forth, the budget standoff came to an end, with Harris County commissioners being blocked from increasing the tax rate, meaning millions in new spending will not take place.
This is happening because two Republican county commissioners will not show up to meetings. Without them, a vote to increase the tax rate cannot take place. "It's just not genuine to say we must be cut, because they don't have a quorum, or because they can't pass their tax hike," Ogg explained. "What is real is prioritized spending."
