However, these financial statements and accounting records are prepared and maintained with objectivity and due professional care. General Fund (1000) Revenues and Expenditures The County’s major sources of revenue are taxes and charges for services. Property Tax revenues for the General Fund account for approximately 80% of total revenues each fiscal year. There was a $23.1M increase in Tax revenue as compared to this time last year. Higher taxable values and new construction are the two factors driving this growth. On October 9, 2018, Commissioners Court adopted the total Harris County Maintenance and Operations tax rate of $0.34500 for Tax Year 2018 (FY 2019). This rate applies to the General Operating Fund and the Public Improvement Contingency Fund. Total Revenues and Transfers In are $39.2M greater than the prior year. Intergovernmental revenue increased by $3.9M, primarily as a result of additional mixed beverage tax funds of $1.5M and indigent defense funds of $1.7M. The $10.9M increase in Charges for Services can largely be attributed to increases in the following categories: $3.9M in patrol service fees, $1.2M in auto registration fees, $1.7M in fees of office, $1.2M in automobile commissions, and $1.2M in Motor Vehicle Sales Taxes (MVST) compared to the prior year. In addition, Miscellaneous revenue increased $2.6M compared to the prior year primarily due to $2.4M received from the Flood Control District as part of a service agreement with CTS. Overall Expenditures and Transfers Out increased by $139.6M over last year. This is attributable to several factors including increases in Salaries and Benefits, Services and Other, Utilities, and Travel & Transportation spending. Most of the Salaries growth occurred in law enforcement, Central Technology Services Department, County Attorney’s Office, Constable Precinct 4, County Clerk and District Attorney's Office. Salaries were also higher because there were three pay periods in November compared to two last November. However, spending decreases in Materials and Supplies, Miscellaneous and Capital Outlay provided offsets that held the overall increases in this category to the $139.6M mentioned above. i Highlights of Harris County’s Financial Statements Fiscal Month 9 of 12 November 30, 2018 The following chart summarizes the comparison of revenues and expenditures between current fiscal year-to-date and prior fiscal year-to-date on a cash basis.

    Presidential Libraries presented by Jeri Diehl Cusack Our National Archives For the first 150 or so years, each U.

The National Archives & the position of National Archivist were created by Congressional statute in 1934… during FDR’s first term in office. National Archives & Records Administration (or “NARA”) Best known for housing the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution & the Bill of Rights in its building on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., the National Archives is now “our nation’s official record keeper.” NARA includes a nationwide network of regional archives & records facilities. NARA has an Office of Presidential Libraries: http://www.archives.gov/presidential-libraries/ NARA Presidential Library Holdings 400 million pages 10 million photos 15 million feet of motion picture film 100,000 hours of audio/video tapes/discs 500,000+ museum objects History of Presidential Libraries In December of 1938, during his second term of office, FDR announced a plan to build a library to preserve his public papers. Some previous presidents had not taken such action; their papers had been lost, sold, scattered, damaged or even destroyed. FDR raised funds from private donors to fund building his project near his home in Hyde Park NY; later he donated the library to the U.S. Government via the National Archives.

  • Bush on the Couch
    Lauren Langman Bush on the Couch by Lauren Langman ritics suggest that G. W. Bush’s presidency may well be the most Cimportant fact misshaping the 21st century; the long-term consequences may endure for generations. His less than compassionate conservatism has seen massive retrenchments from already niggardly social programs, and his disregard of the environment accelerated global warming. His economic policies created the largest budget deficit ever. His unilateral invasion of Iran has not only been a disaster for the people of that already hobbled country, but eroded alliances with Europe and earned the enmity of Muslims throughout the world. He is the perfect poster boy for recruiting terrorists. And his response to criticism has been his swagger, cocky smirk, and the (supposedly) affable disarming of critics. A spate of behind-the-scenes books has come out, showing Dubya determined to pursue a bellicose course yet blind to contravening evidence. According to Paul O’Neill and Richard Clarke, Dubya brushes aside critiques. He claims he is doing what God ordained. Does it sounds a bit scary when folks hear voices that bid them do battle? I always thought Joan of Arc was a bit schizy, but she at least seemed willing personally to fight for what she believed. Some hail the good Christian warrior fighting God’s battles against those who “are not with us,” meaning (1) the evil external enemies such as Osama Bin Laden and his terrorists who “hate our values”, (2) and those East Coast liberals who drink lattes, sip Chablis, drive Volvos, and support the murder of unborn babies.

  • White House “Tails”
    White House “Tails” Pets of the First Families he nine papier-mâché figures representing the beloved pets of some our nation’s First Families, T were first used by First Lady Laura Bush in her 2002 White House Christmas entitled All Creatures Great and Small. Florists and calligraphers, part of the regular White House staff, were called upon to create over 20 of the special ornaments that represented pets ranging from the ordinary to very extraordinary. Most First Families owned pets when they took up residence in the Executive Mansion, and occasionally more creatures great and small were acquired during each President’s administration. Many pets were gifts to the First Families from other countries. Some gifts, like the Russian dog, Pushinka, lived in the White House. Other more exotic ones were given to the National Zoo. Goats, cows, sheep, and horses that lived at the White House were working animals. Other animals just wandered onto to lawn of the White House or into the mansion itself and were either “adopted” or evicted by members of the First Families. Regardless of how the pets arrived or how long they remained with the Presidential families, each of their stories is fun and historic. The National First Ladies’ Library is proud to share with our guests the opportunity to see nine of the pet ornaments. We are aware of the distinct honor of hosting our “White House guests” and sincerely thank President George W. Bush for this rare loan of historic White House artifacts. Barney Bush Birth: September 30, 2000 in New Jersey Address: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C.
