Extra Vehicle Registration Fee to Help Child Advocacy Center

HENDERSON — If you live in Rusk County, you’ll soon be paying more to register your vehicle — but it’s for a good cause. According to KETK, just one extra dollar is all county residents will have to pay to register their cars starting in January. But county officials say that dollar can make a huge impact. The extra fee was passed by county commissioners this week. Funds collected from the fee will go directly to the Rusk-Panola Child Advocacy Center and will be used for resources to help children who are being abused or are at risk for being abused.
