Editor: I haven't stopped laughing since the Bulloch Board of Education announced its intention to raise the property millage rates on our homes, businesses, tools, and vehicles. We have families and business owners who are hanging on to their property by the slimmest of threads while economizing in every way and yet the Board and administration can't seem to do the same. The number of mortgage and loan defaults in this county is staggering, not to mention declining property values, but it seems the Board and the Central Office administration have segregated and insulated themselves from this reality.
