CITY OF THOMASTON PROPOSES TAX MILLAGE INCREASE OF 2.02 MILLS

LAST   YEAR,  CITY  HALL  INDICATED  IT  WOULD  NEED  TO  UP  THE  TAX  MILLAGE  RATE  TWO  MILLS   WHEN  IT  WAS   SET  AGAIN,  AND  AT  A  CALLED  MEETING  FRIDAY,  THE  CITY  MANAGER  PROPOSED  A  TAX  HIKE  OF   2.02  MILLS, BASED ON  A  DIP  IN  THE  TAX  DIGEST.
