The district started out at a rate of 35 cents 30 years ago, and as evaluations have changed and requirements of the district have changed, we've been able to lower our tax rate, and it's been as low as 13 cents. We're mandated to provide services like a hospital system and also to provide for the care of indigents in the county and we look at what our needs are to cover those.
