A handful of concerned citizens attended a public hearing Thursday night to learn more about a proposal that will raise the millage rate in Bulloch County by half a mil. The public hearing was one of three to be held. Two more will be held Thursday, July 22 – one at 3 p.m. and one at 6 p.m., followed by a Bulloch County Board of Education meeting where BOE members plan to vote upon the proposed millage rate increase.
