Staff
This is the time of year that all your taxing districts are voting on their upcoming budgets and tax rates.
Hays County Commissioners, Hays CISD, Dripping Springs ISD, San Marcos CISD, Wimberley ISD, the city councils in Buda, Dripping Springs, Kyle, San Marcos, and Wimberley are all deciding what your new tax rate will be on your property taxes and how much they will be spending in their budgets.
There’s an old saying, “all politics start at the local level.” Important decisions on rules, laws, ordinances, codes, annual budget, and a large portion of our taxes are decided at the local level during meetings that most residents don’t give a second thought about.
The issues that affect your city, county, schools, and every day of your life are discussed and decided on during these meetings, including your tax rates. It is up to all of us to keep our local officials honest and shape the future of our county, school districts, and cities.
These weekly meetings, where important decisions are made for Hays County, schools, and school districts and the surrounding local municipalities of Buda, Dripping Springs, Kyle, San Marcos, and Wimberley are listed below.
Each page includes links to the official agenda, meeting minutes, agenda packets, and live or archived videos and/or audio (if available) for each of the government entities.
It is up to us to keep our local officials, elected or not, honest and ethical. And each of us needs to play an active role and take responsibility for shaping our communities. How it ends begins with you…Melissa Jewett, Publisher
