Perdue’s plan could hold line on property tax
It was with great disappointment that I read the editorial linked below. I haven’t seen the details of Sonny Perdue’s proposal but, if it is accurately described by the article, our Governor (and/or his staff) are clueless regarding the most basic component of the property tax calculation process.
The politicians continue to address symptoms rather than the actual problem, which is that there is no mathematical connection between the cost of government and the tax rate charged to property owners.
Simply require taxing authorities to adopt a mathematically-correct millage rate– according to the procedure recommended by the Dept. of Revenue for decades– and the "back door tax increase" will be eliminated.
