I have written an article describing, with actual numbers, the (I believe, unconstitutional) inequity inherent in HB-233, which was approved by the Georgia House of Representatives on Thursday. Click the link below.

The State Constitution requires that government treat its citizens equitably, except where the legislative creation of a special classification can be reasonably justified. In operation, HB-233 creates a special class of taxpayer– "Owner of a Property Substantially Increasing in Value"– and rewards him with a significant tax benefit.
