…Some items to consider as you sit in the audience and listen to your representatives tell you how they want more of your money:
• Gwinnett stadium deal (part 1) $40 million. - Negotiated in complete secrecy. No public hearings, no public input.
• Gwinnett stadium deal (part 2) $20 million. - Ooops, cost overruns. Didn’t think it through the first go ’round. There was however a public hearing,…. no public input allowed, but it was public. What’s the point?…
• Two lawsuits pending ($40 million each) regarding the Gwinnett BoC, Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful and government sanctioned garbage pickup. That’s going to save us all a bundle…
• Overpayment for land acquisitions with questionable circumstances (see post below)…
• Has your property’s assessed value been decreased? See post below. The tax increase is directly tied to your property assessment,… millage rate x property assessment = tax bill
• $15,000 retreat that the BoC spent in Young Harris in December, 2008 to discuss our budget deficit.
