CONCERNS

Commissioner Walker
said, “if you take it out of
one hand it has to come
from the other.”
The local officials had sim
ilar objections to a property
tax freeze. Sanders said it is
an equity issue - some pay a
level of valuation 50 percent,
100 percent or more than
others on similarly value
property.
“It’s unfair because they
benefit just because they’ve
lived there longer,” Thomson
said.

Commissioners Gail
Robinson and Jay Walker
thought some consideration
should be given to seniors.
Walker said, “senior citizens
on fixed incomes should not
be forced to move out of their
home because they can’t pay
the increased taxes.”
O’Neal said he didn’t know
where the equity is. “It’s an

it off.”
He said in Georgia, “we
