After dozens of county residents at
three public hearings voiced opposition to a 1.5-mill rate hike that compounds
with real estate inflation to a more than 28% average increase in property tax,
the Bulloch County commissioners met at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday and voted 6-0 to
approve it.
Commissioners unanimously approve tax hike after 3 nights of opposition
1.5-mill increase adopted without change or debate
