Macon Telegraph reporter Matt Barnwell reports [story] that the Houston County city of Centerville [site] proposes to adopt a 2005 millage rate of 10.7, the same rate as last year. The Council will schedule the required hearings (10.7 is above the “rollback” rate) at its monthly meeting next week.

As our faithful followers know, the adoption of the same rate as the previous year is a very strong indicator that the elected officials failed to “do the math” and that the adopted millage will either OVERtax or UNDERtax the property owners of Centerville– it must be one or the other.

We have encouraged Mr. Barnwell by email to investigate the Centerville Council’s failure to deal honestly with its citizenry.
