Tyrone Sets Property Tax RateAt a special called meeting on July 23, advertised to discuss employee insurance plans, Tyrone’s new and “open council” added to their agenda the setting of the property tax rate for 2008. This is the group that ran on open government, but their actions are anything but open (they act more like the County Commission did when Grace Caldwell was on it…wonder where this group learned how to be so deceitful). Why would any group of elected officials sneak the setting of the property tax rate onto an agenda at a special called meeting unless they either had something to hide or simply have no regard for the citizens that elected them. We have complained about the old council but compared to this group they were much more open with the citizens, in fact, if I remember correctly they held three public hearings before setting the tax rate. I also notice that the Citizen Newspaper’s investigative arm is very silent on this, (guess Cal’s endorsement is worth something). Shaquita's blog | login to post comments |
