Dear Oconee County Citizen,
Oconee County politicians think your wallet is their personal money tree.
Now they want to shake that tree again!
In fact, it seems like they just can't get enough.
They want to increase the sales tax for Oconee County to feed their voracious appetite for your money.
Sign the petition below to declare your opposition to the never-ending tax-and-spend policies of the County Council.
In Liberty,
Brit Adams
Oconee County

Stop the Oconee County Sales Tax Increase to My County Council
WHEREAS: The County Council just increased the property tax rate by 3 mils; and WHEREAS: The 2012 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) indicates $22.5 million in unrestricted funds on hand as of June 30, 2012; and WHEREAS: the accommodation tax and utility rates have also increased in the cities of Seneca and Walhalla; and WHEREAS: the county has given millions to private developers, purchased hundreds of acres in economic development speculation, and robbed the road maintenance fund to pay for other things while we drive on potholes. THEREFORE: I demand that the Oconee County Council oppose any sales tax increase and refrain from putting a sales tax increase on the ballot. |
