The local tax for Great Bend USD 428 will be close to 45.931 mills next year, Superintendent Khris Thexton said at Tuesday’s budget hearing. With an increase in local taxes for the supplemental general budget and a decrease in bonded indebtedness, the net result is “a wash.” Last year’s tax rate was 45.946 mills.However, each mill will raise more money for the district this year.
