Did you know that there are 81
separate and distinct taxing agen-
cies In Cameron county alone, each
with Its tax assessor and tax col

quent tax collection contracts made

Officials OF various q trictS was
made by Galbraith, who denounced
the SySem as unfair and unjust

public funds Is a public function
which should be attended 10 BY duly
elected public ~officials. rather than
BY a private firm which IA IN ~
Tor the money IL can make" he
