WHITEY

With all of the ranting going around in the closing days of the campaign I think it will be useful for posters to state why they are supporting a particular candidate. I support Todd Pownall because he is a hard working, Honest, Dependable person who has always looked out for the people in this county, and has taken an active part in his community through many charitable organizations. Todd is a business person, who knows what it is like to provide jobs for the people in this county. Todd knows what it is like to meet a payroll, set budgets and live within those budgets. Todd believes the cou

I am not aware of any candidate that remains in theses commission races that has not taken a position that they all oppose any tax increases, A quick review of all the web sites clearly and plainly reveals that all of the candidates remain opposed to any millage rate and tax increases. To state anything to the contrary is a total fabrication. Having said that the only thing that a voter has to rely on is the past Actions of the candidtes themselves, Here is what I have found about the history of Todd Pownall's opposition to proposed tax increases If you have some video where Beverl

facts ......a person that owned a piece of property worth $100,000 last year and was valued for a $100,000 again this year woiuld see a increase of less that a dime a day on this years taxes not quite as massive as Regan Republican would have you believe

why don't you go to your web site and post if you do not like how pubby is treating you,since it has zillions of viwers

I would like to know why she did not show up for the two round table dicussions held here on P.com

I see that one of two things have occured either you did not read the first few pages of the revised budget, Or you did not comphrend what you read.

winston 1972 First I would like to point out that Beverly Cochran was no "COUNTY CLERK" as you allude to, She was the Administrative Assistant to the Board of commissioners and as such has more responsibilities that just being a "clerk", Fact is she used this job in one of her mail outs to acclaim that " will need no on the job training" Now this is scary to me since the on the job training she obtained was under a tax and spend administration, Which she was a part of. She had an ample opportunity to stand up for the citizens here is one example. You should note in this video that

They do justify it right here http://www.paulding.gov/DocumentView.aspx?DID=471 The first few pages are pretty clear on the justifaction, You may not agree, But.......... It is explianed pretty clear to me. read it you will probably change your mind on the issue. You do note that this revised budget was out 11 full day's before the primary election held July 20,2010 I picked up one at the Commissioners meeting.

how much has your's increased?

How much has your taxes increased?

This is a millage rate increase that recoups some of the lost tax revenues as a result of properties being devalued, Most citizens will actually pay less taxes this year than last year. The County as a whole will collect less taxes overall that the previous year, Have you figured your tax cut yet?

Regan Republican I moved here in 1977, I detest higher taxes in any form, and I lived through the Shearin/Beverly regime of the 2000 through 2008 and attended many Public hearings and spoke at those hearings on several occasions opposing the higher taxes being imposed on the citizens of this County. Posters like you and praise thee have repeatedly attacked me on this site and I have been called out on this site, And at public hearings, By the Chairman of the county commission, And others when I opposed them at the hearings or on this Board. I have no problem with being called out, As long as

Nothing to spin you and I are getting a tax cut,The only one I have ever got and so are 75% of the others, Those that are not getting a tax cut could also be happy since their property values have not tanked like ours have

I am not trying to get people to not participate in this forum, And have known you and your name for a couple of years, And you and others have the right to post anything that you like on this web site and hope that you and others will continue, Beacause I really think we have had a great discussion tonight, And have divulged a lot of good facts for the readers to look at and make up their minds about what is right and wrong about the post that you and I have made. You have made some points and so have I, The readers will decide who made the most valid points. You obviously are supporting

here is the video I was wrong it was 280%

It's available on line only take a few seconds, Do you need help finding it HMMMMM I see ole praise thee has an article on taxes, I wonder how much his has went down

You are pretty good with figures,You already have your assessment how much has your txes webt down?

No Madea I am not defending this millage rate increase, I detest higher taxes in any shape or form, And will stand arm and arm with any citizens in this great county who will support me on higher taxes. Most everyone in this County will not be paying higher taxes this coming year including my self (about $400.00 less) And others who are complianing on here the loudest I have basicaly stayed out of the Braddock Stout race and plan to do so in the future. BOE minutes do not lie,They are a accurate account of all the votes taken on all of the issues and it records those that are for and those

You never answered are your taxes going up 30%?

Heck we are still better off than what Shearin and Beverly were proposing back in 2007 they were talking about a 248% increase in the video and they worked it down to about 31% not bad

Just checked the web site bond is set at the same 1.6 mils You never committed on your taxes, Are you going to be paying more taxes?

AA is an employee that can speak out if they so desire, Look at the video again Pat spoke out and owned up to the truth in the video. Beverly has never said anything about all of the tax increases that she was a part of until she decided to run for commissioner

Nope I did not how much?

Only for the Maintenance & Operations portions. This does not increase the Fire tax levy, County Bond, School bond, School M&O and this does not equate out to a 14.3% tax increase as you would have people believe, IN AMOUNTS TO ABOUT .08 CENTS PER DAY ON A $100,000 HOME And only then if the home did not decrease in value Quit misleading the citizens. I am going to say it one more time 75%, according to your figures are going to pay less taxes this year than they did last year
