of out right taxpayer revolts
In several counties of our state.
These conditions, say the com
missioners, are evidence of
the public’s unwillingness to
accept higher property taxes.
Their chief complaint is that
school costs rise far faster
than property values, thus a
local government must contin
ually assess a higher rate for
school tax on its slow-growing
tax digest.
All Georgia, the county com
missioners say, has watched
the intricate “dance” per
formed by local school boards,
members of the General As
sembly and the Governor eis
they pass the buck for school
finance from one to the other.
All admit the inequity of pre
sent property tax for school
purposes, but none has been
willing to effect the sweeping
changes in the system that e
qulty would demand, charge the
county officials.
“Won’t this be the year,”
they cry, “when state govern
ment finally faces up to tsix
revision and lightens the load
of the ad valorem taxpayer?”
This year the CoiintySsom
mlssloners Association and-the
Georgia Municipal Association
will continue their efforts'll!
sponsoring the 1? sales tax
proposal with a requirement
that 40 percent of the revenue
derived from this source would
go to the local school boards,
the remaining 60 percent to be
apportioned to the city and co
unty governments on a per ca
pita basis. For every dollar
the schools and local govern
ments receive, they must re
duce ad valorem taxes 50?.
State-wide, the 1? sales tax
would bring in $120,000,000.,
therefore, state-wide, the ad
valorem taxes would be reduced

The ACCG’s breakfast meet
ing is timed as an introduction
and an ice-breaker for county
officials and their legislative
delegations. It is an annual af

excess of 1,000 county and state
officials, according to the cou
nty commissioners’ associat
ion.
Each slate of county officials
invites its legislative delegat
ion, state representatives and
senators, to be its guest for
as truly a Southern-style break
fast as any team of big-city
hotel chefs can prepare. The
whole affair starting at 8:00
A.M. will be concluded within
two hours allowing General As- ;
sembly members to reach their
desks for the day’s business.
Breakfast is served with a
generous helping of music sup
plied by the Dean Hudson Or

Governor Jimmy Carter and
Lt. Governor Lester Maddox ;
will both be in attendance at
the breakfast meeting.
“ ft’s all a matter of priori
ties,” comments one county
spokesman, “and we take the
opportunity offered by the Leg
islative Breakfast to tell our
state lawmakers what we on
the local scene take to be the
most pressing issues, the things
we hear most about from our
citizens.”
