County Votes To Increase Line Of Credit

R.N. DeVane - July 23, 2015
The Lamar County Board of Commissioners moved Tuesday to raise its tax anticipation line of credit from $3 million to $4 million dollars. The increase comes in the wake of lower than expected revenue collections.

According to Lamar County administrator Bob Zellner, only about 21 percent of this year�s budgeted funds have been collected so far.

�I don�t think this has historically ever happened in the county where we�ve had this kind of cash flow problem and this kind of issue with the revenues not coming in,� said District 4 member Nancy Thrash.

�It�s a cash flow issue,� Commission Chairman Charles Glass added just prior to Tuesday night�s vote.
