another TRIPLE for MS

Check the records for the last Council meeting. Dotson brought up that the tax rate for the proposed anexation areas will go from 2 to 6+, which IS a triple, and goes along perfectly with the TRIPLE we pay for EACH and EVERY construction project the City Manager is associated with. If the Springs TRIPLED its tax rate there would be a lot of unhappy people HERE, so why would anybody be surprised to hear that those people would be upset? Has anybody considered the wants and needs of those 250 residents of the proposed annexation areas? Or dont they matter? Dr. Mel P. Johnson

triple our tax rate?

The 2.3 million surplus is figured by raising the annexed properties millage rate from 2 to 6.4, more than TRIPLE their current tax rate. Do you think the 250 residents involved there are going to take a TRIPLING of their tax rate lying down? Would the residents of MS take a TRIPLING of our tax rate lying down? I doubt it. Dr. Mel P. Johnson
