Posted/updated on: June 3, 2011 at 10:54 amTYLER — This week, Precinct 3 Constable Dustin Rust, asked the Smith County Commissioners Court for an additional $5,800 to cover the rest of the fiscal year in fuel costs. He says with rising gas prices, the county didn’t give them enough. Precinct 2 Commissioner Cary Nix says the Constable is in a unique situation, but he says thinking ahead and staying within budget is the issue. The Commissioner says the court will discuss the matter next week.
