		<description><![CDATA[The following was sent to members of the Georgia House this morning. We invite you to reinforce the message by contacting your own state legislator. Good morning, Representative. Have you ever SERIOUSLY considered WHY Rep.Edward Lindsey&#8217;s assessment cap proposal, HR-1, must be enacted as a Constitutional amendment?

		<description><![CDATA[Even AFTER HR-1, the 3% Assessment Cap, local officials can still adopt the same millage rate as in the previous year, even as property assessments increase.

		<description><![CDATA[Rep. Edward Lindsey (R-Atlanta) is wrong about HR-1, which would impose an assessment ‘freeze’ constitutionally, or HB-233 which seeks to do the same thing without a constitutional amendment for a two-year period.
