The two Harris County commissioners who skipped Tuesday’s meeting to approve a tax rate and proposed budget stuck by their decision which forced the county to adopt a no new revenue rate.
“I was representing the 1.2 million people that are citizens in Precinct 3, and it was important that they had a voice and I felt like the best way to communicate what their needs were was not to be there because their budget needs were not represented in that budget,” Precinct 3 Commissioner Tom Ramsey said Wednesday.
“The taxpayers right now are under too much of a burden. We did not need to increase the taxes on the public,” said Precinct 4 Commissioner Jack Cagle.
