TYLER — The Tyler Junior College Board of Trustees voted unanimously Thursday to adopt a property tax rate increase of 31.62%. The tax increase is less than the hike originally proposed — 33.57%. The board also adopted its budget for the coming fiscal year. According to KETK, the college is working to pay back $28 million taken out last year for maintenance tax notes. Reaction to the proposed tax hike was sharply divided during recent public hearings.
