Polk County supervisor proposes tax rebate for low-income seniors

Driving the news: McCoy will officially introduce the proposal at a meeting at 9:30am Tuesday.

What he's saying: McCoy cited the county's budget surplus, saying the local government can afford the proposal's estimated revenue loss, which could be up to $8 million in the first year.

Yes, but: The county's budget planning process for the fiscal year that starts in July is well underway.

Of note: The four other supervisors recently approved a resolution to remove McCoy from nearly all of his board appointments.

• McCoy is also running for re-election this year.
