MCC trustees call for tax rate increase amid COVID-19 challenges - Carl Hoover, Waco Tribune-Herald

McLennan Community College trustees this week agreed to pursue a tax rate increase of less than a quarter-cent per $100 valuation to help cover planned salary increases for employees in a budget affected by lower enrollment and COVID-19-related expenses. The board voted unanimously Tuesday to set the tax rate at 14.98 cents per $100 valuation, an increase from the current 14.77 cents per $100 to fund the college’s 2020-21 fiscal year budget of $58.5 million.
