Key takeaway Further details about the dispute and the proposed tax rate are available from local news sources, including KPRC 2 Click2Houston.
A proposed property tax rate is moving forward in Fort Bend County. The Commissioners Court made this decision during a meeting that took place without two of its members. Democratic Commissioners Dexter McCoy and Grady Prestage have been absent from meetings since June, citing concerns about the authority of County Judge Daniel Wong.
The issue stems from Wong's appointment after the former county judge was suspended due to a felony conviction. Further details about the dispute and the proposed tax rate are available from local news sources, including KPRC 2 Click2Houston.
