Work session could reveal likelihood of Fulton tax rate hike
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Fulton commission will hold a work session on Monday to go over a final version of the county's 2012 budget. With spending outpacing revenues and reserves diminishing, Commissioner Tom Lowe has suggested a countywide 0.60 mill tax rate increase, and the tone of the meeting could reveal whether Lowe has enough backing to make it happen.
The session starts at 11 a.m. in the Fulton County Government Center's Assembly Hall, 141 Pryor St., S.W., downtown Atlanta. Budget information: http://www.fultoncountyga.gov/finance-budget-information.
