   I would like to see legislation passed by the State that would take away the power of raising millage rates from the County Boards of Commissioners. Millage rate increases should be placed on a ballot for the voters to decide. Property value caps should also be in place so that property taxes cannot be raised on the whims of a BoC.

   If the taxpayers are required to “pay the bills”, then it is the right of the “taxpayers” to make the decisions regarding Millage rates.

   Is this not supposed to be a Government of the People, By the People, and For the People?

   I would vehemently and ferociously oppose any legislation that grants legislative and tax authority of far away government (41 miles away) over a local government that is 15 minutes from my house. The State has exhibited time and time again their inability to manage budgets as well. Look at the state DOT. no thank you. Bad idea…

   Thanks for keeping up abreast of things like this. You did an excellent job speaking at the Public Hearing. So sorry that I could not attend the concerned citizens meeting last evening.

   Happy to help with the petition. I’ve received over 50 signatures today. Citizens of Paulding are tired of the excess spending. Our Commisioners need to hear us. Small business are closing, most are struggling. Buisness & home owners have cut budgets. Payrolls have reduced & now it’s time for OUR government to stop taking more. Please everyone share with your neighbors & friends. Sign the petition & join everyone Aug 24 @ 10 to present our request for rolling back the millage rate.

   We have to tighten out belts during these hard times. Our local,State and Federal government needs to do the same.

    I agree that we need more law enforcement and teachers but with our property values are on the decline we don’t need any more new taxes. If the taxes would go aid the salary for our law enforcement that a different story, not just to put a lot of money in the bank.What purpose would that serve?

    Our taxes just keep going up, up, up, while our values keep going down, down, down. I appealed my taxes because all values on my street dropped except mine. The Board told me that my place was worth more than I stated. I tried to sell and the same board told the people that was interested that it wasn’t worth what I was asking. If I knew which one at the court house said that and killed my sell, I would sue him, her, it or whatever and the county. I’m discusted with all of our so called county officials along with all the appointed rif-raf up there! An appointed position should not be a life time job……………We need new blood up there!
