THE UPSON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS SET THE 2011 TAX MILLAGE RATE AT 12.72 MILLS THE SAME AS LAST YEAR, AT A CALLED MEETING MONDAY. CHAIRMAN MAURICE RAINES HAD SUGGESTED THE BOARD WOULD ROLL BACK PROPERTY TAXES UP TO 19% BUT A HENRY COUNTY CASE THAT WENT TO THE GA. SUPREME COURT WILL NOT ALLOW IT. ALL PROJECTS FROM THE 2005 SPLOST MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE ANY ROLLBACK, AND UPSON COUNTY HAS NOT COMPLETED THE SPORTS COMPLEX AND COMMUNITY PARKS. CHAIRMAN RAINES SAID THE ROLLBACK WILL COME IN 2012. COMMISSIONER FRANK SPRAGGINS VOTED AGAINEST THE MILLAGE RATE , HE SAID IT SHOULD BE LOWER.
