Where It Stands Now
Remember I told you to keep your eye on that 5 cents of property
taxes? Rutherford County Commissioners
'hid' their raise by diverting 5 (five) cents in property tax rate from schools to the
general debt fund. This 'magically' seemed to cover the amount of their and other board's 200% pay raise.
When your kids or your neighbor's kids bring home fundraisers such as magazine sales or candy,
remember that nickel taken from the school's share of our property taxes. When your kids begin
a new school year and bring home a grocery list of supplies and over $100 dollars in fees think of
that nickel again. The next election of commissioners is in 2002. We have a little over 2 years left to
find candidates to replace
Some folks on the Rutherford County Commission.
