Before the commissioners debate next year’s budget in the Historic Courthouse at 7 p.m. tonight, Newton County’s political parties will take to the square to give their thoughts on property taxes and county jobs. The Newton County Democratic Party is going to have a counter rally at 6 p.m., tonight at the square to show support for Democratic commissioners J.C. Henderson, Nancy Schulz and Earnest Simmons. The Democratic party won’t have any speakers, but they will have handouts of information about taxes, said Sarah Todd, local Democratic committee member.
