    Hillsboro mayor vetoes city tax budget
    Hillsboro Mayor Dick Zink has vetoed the city's tax budget, which was passed by a 5-2 vote during the August council meeting this week. 
    Zink told The Highland County Press Friday that "The problem with it is that it's unreasonable to reduce expenses by $912,000 to make up a $116,500 shortfall, the same thing I stated the other night. The people of Hillsboro deserve better treatment than that. I don't see why government is to squirrel money back when it is to be used on things to benefit the citizens."
