People have had such a hard time believing that the political brand (in this case the elected Republicans in Georgia) that they have voted for, for the express reason of keeping their taxes low, actually voted to raise their property taxes.
the largest property tax increase
in Georgia history,
last year, in the 2009 session.
DuBose Porter went to the well of the House to speak against raising your property taxes. DuBose Porter knows our citizens cannot afford to have their property taxes increased during one of the worst economic downturns in state history. Many homeowners and small businesses are having trouble staying in their homes and businesses as it is.
Blind allegiance to any one party, and especially to any party that runs on one thing and gets to Atlanta and does another, is what is damaging this economy and the future prosperity of our state. It is time to step back, take the R and the D off of the name and look at what each politician actually does.
Get engaged in your government. Find out the truth.
Who actually voted to raise your taxes? See for yourself.
HB 143 - Local government; homeowner tax relief grants; change certain provisions
(...as in repealed it. N = No, don't repeal it and don't raise property taxes. Y = Yes, repeal it and raise property taxes.)
