Brewton should have to pay the extra taxes. They are the only ones that voted for them. We are taxed enough.
Every time we vote for a tax, we stab ourselves in the face. This tax will never go away even when the needs are met…which they never will be because, politicians. It also enables them spend like a sailor on shore leave because we say, yes, please take my money. We should make them accountable to cut waste and fund this with taxes they already are receiving.
Errghh Brewton, fleecing Atmore residents yet again.
Atmore needs to split off from Escambia Co
D.W. McMillan wins….. homeowners and businesses lose.
Wonder how many of those voters actually own property subject to this new raise in taxes?
Who votes to raise their own taxes?
I know nobody wants higher property taxes, but the healthcare situation in this county is getting pretty bad. In an emergency you don’t always have time to drive to Mobile or Pensacola.
