TJC to Hold Second Public Hearing on Tax Hike

TYLER — Tyler Junior College trustees will hold a second public hearing this afternoon on a proposal to increase tax revenues for 2013. It’s set for at 5:30pm in the Board Room of the White Administrative Services Center. College spokesman Fred Peters says the proposed tax rate of $0.199926 is the same as this year’s, “but by Texas law, we must hold hearings if it appears that property valuations will result in revenues exceeding the prior year’s.”
