PROPERTY OWNERS IN RICHMOND COUNTY HAVE BEEN TEMPORARILY SAVED FROM AN ABHORRENT THREE ( 3 ) MILL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE.
THE COLISEUM AUTHORITY SHOULD BE ABOLISHED—- NOW —- BEFORE IT REGROUPS AND COMES BACK WITH A NEW PROPOSAL TO REACH ITS HANDS INTO THE POCKETS OF RICHMOND COUNTY’S PROPERTY OWNERS .
IT SHOULD NOT BE FORGOTTEN THAT THE AUGUSTA – RICHMOND COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AUTHORIZED THIS REFERENDUM WHICH PLACED THE PROPERTY OWNERS AT RISK FOR A THREE ( 3 ) MILL INCREASE IN OUR PROPERTY TAXES .
SPLOST 8 WAS ALSO THE RESULT OF THIS GROUP OF COMMISSIONERS’ FAILURE TO PRIORITIZE THE NEEDS OF COUNTY RESIDENTS .
INSTEAD OF PRIORITIZING NEEDED INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS —- THESE COMMISSIONERS TREATED THE SPLOST 8 LIKE MONOPOLY MONEY AND ALLOCATED OVER HALF THAT MONEY TO WASTEFUL PROJECTS
( ie. $25 million for PLANS for the now failed Coliseum project ).
CONGRATULATIONS BRAVES !!!
The Coliseum Authority needs to come back later, after the economy improves, with a financing plan wherein backers and users of the facility, not the people who own property in the county, pay for the construction, operation and maintenance. Why should property owners pay for a facility that hosts events in which they have no interest? It’s bad enough our property taxes are spent on failing schools and not spent on our crumbling infrastructure.
This should send a clear message but it won’t.
Ok the property owners have spoken! Now if the coliseum authority wants to build a new one charge a $20 usage fee and raise motel hotel tax and some splost money to pay for it. Those are the people gaining from it. Better than that let Columbia County build it we have enough venues….. Bell, James Brown Arena, Imperial, Miller, and the Convention Center! All of which are under utilized!
After homeowners are still catching their breath from the most recent hefty property tax increase , they propose this !
Certified confirmation we are being governed by puddin heads.
The good guys won.
Ditto: Tom Tinley commentary.
Yep posted a question and then never got a reply. The question was ow many people are delinquent currently? Before you go about raising my property taxes, let the voters know he w many people can’t pay the taxes we currently have. Then, how many renters do we have that won’t pay directly, but will at higher leases next year. Put all the figures out there. Also maintain what you have.
