Mexia showed a slight drop on the monthly sales tax rebate check from the State of Texas, but also showed a slight increase for the year-to-date totals.
The check which came in to the City of Mexia from the State Comptroller’s office, was for $220,519.60, compared with this time year ago when the monthly check was for $221,955.10.
For the year-to-date figure, Mexia stood at $1,395,169.28. This is an increase over the same time period of 2008, when the accummulative checks totaled $1,385,809.73.
Groesbeck showed increases in both major categories - $46,283.91 for the monthly category and $309,560.73 for year-to-date, compared with the 2008 figures, which were $45,799.99 for the month and $303,131.40 for year-to-date.
Coolidge was upo for the month, but down for year-to-date. Kosse was down for the month, but up for year-to-date, while Thornton was up by three dollars for the month, but down by $69 for year-to-date.
(Another sales tax rebate story will come within days, due to “catching up” on monthly information from Texas Comptroller Susan Combs’ office). The figures in this story is sales tax revenue collected in May, and represent checks mailed to municipalities in June.
One-quarter of the revenue, as previously voted by local taxpayers, goes to the Mexia Economic Development Corporation for new industry, businesses and to local builders, as deemed necessary by the Corporation under leadership of Tommy Tucker, Executive Director of the Corporation.
