They will include six more charges of reckless injury to a child and three charges of child endangerment. “I would urge the Tata family ... that they have Ms. Tata return to Harris County and face justice,” Lykos said. from preceding page was “excellent” and while there are still some aspects of the programs he doesn’t fully understand, he said they did a good job of answering questions. According to Persson and Haley, the BCEDC manages three different loan programs: a U.S Department of Agriculture Rural Development Intermediary Relending Program, a Community Development Block Grant program, and a much smaller micro-enterprise fund. Each particular source has its own limitations and restriction. The real bone of contention is the $75,000 contribution from the county that represents about onethird of the operating income of the BCEDC. The remainder comes from smaller federal grants and income from money on deposit — a figure that has dropped considerably in the past few years because of the low interest rates offered by commercial banks — and out on loan. Specifically for Tobin, the question is one of the director’s salary and benefit package that total just under $95,000 annually. “I’m hearing a lot of screaming about that salary,” Tobin said. According to Persson the BCEDC runs best with three people — an outreach coordinator, a loan fund manager, and an administrator. To cut costs, the BCEDC board chose to combine the outreach and loan portfolio manager into one position and reduce the salary to $67,500 annually. “To lay off the administrator would be folly,” said Persson. BCEDC executives said the loan fund is the “means to an end and not an end in itself.” He said the goal — giving J.Jill, the renovation of the Allen-Rogers complex, BCEDC’s support of Aavid Engineering and the Riverfront (formerly Tilton Endless Belts) rehab as examples — of the non-profit organization is to provide capital to build businesses and jobs as well as improving the property tax base. “In 18 years the county has paid $1.8-million to support the BCEDC,” he said. “In that time [the projects] have generated $3-million in assets plus increased annual tax receipts.” “We feel we’re an investment in Belknap County that creates real return,” he continued. Although Tobin said yesterday a number of his questions had been answered he still hasn’t decided if he will support the $75,000 request. “I’m still thinking about it,” he said. — Gail Ober
Authorities earlier this week had said that Tata was a native of Nigeria. But Lykos said Tata is a U.S. citizen who was born in Harris County and apparently has family in Nigeria. It was not immediately known whether Tata had an attorney. Attempts by The Associated Press to contact her family in person and by phone at multiple addresses and telephone listings have been unsuccessful. The video shows Tata entering the store at 1:09 p.m. and driving away at 1:24 p.m. The first 911 call about the fire was made at 1:29 p.m., according to the affidavit.Tata had told neighbors immediately after the fire that it started in the kitchen while she was in the bathroom.
