By Jack Bernard | When I was a Georgia county commissioner, I was chair of the Association County Commissioners of Georgia’s tax committee. As chairman of a BOC, using cost/benefit analysis, I also got my board to lower annual local tax increases from 10 percent annually to 1 percent. When I got off the BOC, taxes went right back up.
“Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities.”
– American Architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1869 – 1959).
