Court opposes unfunded State mandates
Submitted by Willspoint1 on
County commissioners took to business Sept. 27, taking the bull by the horns to speak as they approved three resolutions of opposition regarding unfunded mandates passed by the State legislature.
“Unfunded mandates are a big topic in the State, and they just keep getting handed down to the counties,” said County Judge Don Kirkpatrick.
In general, the resolutions opposed the laws that were enacted by the State Legislature that have the effect of imposing mandatory financial obligations of all Texas counties. The commissioners approved the resolution while also discussing state funding for indigent criminal defense and opposing the appraisal caps and revenue of the state.
