Resident urges cuts to Sheriff’s Office budget amid tax debate
Summary
At the public hearing, a resident argued the Sheriff’s Office budget should be reduced instead of raising taxes, citing that the schools operating budget is not increasing.
Brad Pollack of Edinburg told the Board he opposed a tax increase and suggested departmental savings as an alternative. He argued that the schools operating budget is not increasing and therefore recommended reductions elsewhere; Pollack said the “Sheriffs Office budget needs to be decreased.”
The comment was offered during public comment; no board action was taken at the April 6 hearing and the Board said it will consider the budget, including departmental allocations, at an April 14, 2026 meeting.
