From some neighbors
The Madison County Democrats, working with other local groups, will host a nonpartisan event that features Georgia Speaker of the House Glenn Richardson to discuss his proposal to eliminate property taxes and replace them with sales taxes ...
We just today confirmed that Georgia House Speaker Glenn Richardson will join us at the Madison County High School the evening of 12/3 to discuss his proposed tax overhaul for Georgia. This is a NONPARTISAN event being organized by the Democrats of Madison County. We are in talks with the local press about co-sponsoring this event, and I will begin next week pursuing an academic from UGA's Carl Vinson Institute of Government to also join us that evening to provide some unbiased/nonpartisan insight into the Speaker's plan.
Our goal for this is to promote a community-wide discussion on the issue. While there have been several forums on this topic within the Athens area, and much press, no forum (in our area) has yet to include the Speaker. We by no means endorse his plan (our local party has no official position on this plan), but we are very interested in seeing that all voters in our area get as much information about it as possible. There is a very good chance this will go before the legislature in January, and the buzz is that the plan could likely pass the legislature and end up on the ballot next fall. PLEASE PLAN ON JOINING US FOR THIS IMPORTANT EVENT!
