====== LOCAL.txt file current rate identification bug ======

The rate and boundary import process was using the geocode in the LOCAL.txt file to determine which records are current and which are history. With the first line considered to be current and subsequent lines history. The actual determination is the geocode plus the city name. This has been fixed. This bug resulted in the El Paso city local tax not getting imported as there was a line proceeding it for Desert Haven which used the El Paso geocode.

===== Workaround =====
At the time this bug was identified, the problem was limited to a single jurisdiction in Texas. Here is the workaround we provided at that time:
If you are importing TX, you should locate the following row/line in the LOCAL.txt file and delete it and then run or rerun the rate and boundary import.
