Fellow Cobb Citizens, Have
you seen the most recent campaign mailer from incumbent Chairman Lee?
Chairman of the Cobb
Commission, Tim Lee continues to claim he’s a conservative who has cut your
taxes three times. His assertions are less than truthful and someone needs to
set the record straight. I’ve followed Lee’s actions closely over the last six
years. While Lee says he made “cuts” he neglects to explain that these were not
really tax cuts...
The reduction in the
millage rates were merely a partial reversal of the increase imposed in 2011.
At that time the Chairman promised the rate(s) would drop again once the
economy improved.
Unable to confirm that
there have been three tax cuts, I consulted my 2015 Property Tax bill and my
notes from July of 2011 when the Board of Commissioners voted to increase the
millage rate. The rates were raised in 2011 and have been lowered slightly each
year since, but far from the “RESULTS” Lee is claiming in his mailer.
Millage Rates 2010 2011
Increase 2015 Decrease
Debt Service 0.22 0.33 (50.0%) 0.33 (0%)
General Fund 6.82 7.82 (14.7%) 7.12 (9%)
Fire Fund 2.56 3.06 (19.5%) 3.06 (0%)
All three rates were
increased in 2011 but only the General Fund rate has been reduced since and is
still not reflective of the original promised lower rate of 6.82.
Please do not be swayed
by the misleading information such as the material in the Lee mailer when
deciding your vote. I am asking you for your vote. If you want to know more
about real issues and where I stand, please visit my website and Facebook page
and feel free to contact me if you have questions on this subject or any other
topic.
Thank you, Larry Savage

Cobb is Georgia’s poster child for local government
abuse. I was amazed that voters didn’t
have the right to approve or reject the Bond debt that came with Braves Stadium
deal. Cobb needs to elect Larry Savage to restore voter control.
