Councilwoman Billie DeWitt Wants to Lower the Tax Rate, Part 1 of 5

SAN ANGELO, TX — Councilwoman Billie DeWitt talks about her background as a human resources manager at Ethicon and why she was motivated to get into city politics. She said she was engaged on an issue involving the current City Manager Daniel Valenzuela. She wanted to support him right after he was hired and came under fire.

DeWitt represents Single Member District 6, or SMD 6, that includes Southland, The Bluffs, and portions of College Hills.

In the first of three videos, Ms. DeWitt talks taxes and spending. DeWitt lays out where the pressures are to raise taxes and increase spending, including dealing with the much needed street repairs.
