January Sales Taxes Up for City, County

A single month “doth not a year make,” but January’s sales tax check at least made a good start for La Grange’s economy.

State Comptroller Glenn Hegar sent La Grange a check for $161,198 as its January share of sales taxes collected locally. That’s up just over 2 percent from last January’s check.
