I remember when a former commissioner’s court instituted the “temporary” Road & Bridge fee. What a joke! Once a gov’t. body adds a tax, it never goes away.

Disappointed that the court gave special treatment to SFA. My guess would be a majority of the students are not registered to vote in Nac. Co. If they cannot get on their two matched ponies and make it to the courthouse, then voting to them is not important. I really and truly think we need the poll tax again to help defray the cost of elections!!!!! Voting should be a privilege and everyone should do their very best to VOTE.
