Bulloch County commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to increase the millage rate by 1.9 mills, or 18.1 percent. The vote followed a third public hearing in the matter; about a dozen residents spoke against the increase during two July 30 hearings, but no one stepped forward to speak during Tuesday’s hearing. Commissioners voted June 30 to pass the 2016 budget of $36.58 million, which is an increase of $2.95 million over the 2015 budget.
