Remember the second public hearing for the proposed tax rate increase will be held at the Canton City Hall at 6:00 PM on Thursday, September 16. Some members of the City Council are proposing an increase from 6.80 to 7.4 mils. Voice your opinion at the meeting. After the public hearing the Council will cast their votes for or against the millage increase.. I would like to hear from as many of you as possible regarding this matter, supporters or opponents. Should the City increase the tax rate simply to build up reserves?? My opposition is well known. I believe you build a reserve in Good Times not Bad...... It is analogous to filling Canton's new reservoir.... Capture the water when there's plenty of rainfall... Don't try to fill the reservoir during a drought....... I believe we're in an economic drought now......Attend the meeting if you can.
Have a great Labor Day Weekend!
Gene Hobgood, Mayor
