AT TUESDAY’S REGULAR MEETING, UPSON COUNTY COMMISSION CHAIRMAN MAURICE RAINES SAID PROPERTY OWNERS CAN EXPECT A TAX ROLLBACK OF UP TO 19% IN 2011. THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WILL MEET MONDAY TO SET THE TAX MILLAGE RATE. THE BOARD WILL USE ACCESS FUNDS FROM THE 2005 SPLOST TO FUND THE TAX REDUCTION, BUT THE CHAIRMAN WARNED THOSE FUNDS WILL NOT BE AROUND IN 2012 SO EXPECT A TAX INCREASE.
CHAIRMAN RAINES HAD TO BREAK A TIE VOTE TO DENY A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A NEW CELL TOWER ON THE PROPERTY OF JAMES ANDERSON ON LINDSEY ROAD. SEVERAL NEIGHBORS OBJECTED TO IT. COMMISSIONER RUSTY BLACKSTON SAID HE HAS ONE ON HIS PROPERTY ONLY ABOUT THREE MILES AWAY SO ITS NOT NECESSARY—BUT HE ABSTAINED FROM VOTING ON THE ISSUE BECAUSE OF IT.
