UPDATE: -"The Council will hold a [virtual] public hearing for each of these proposed measures on July 21, 2020, prior to a final vote."
District 8 Neighbors,
Many of you have asked for the LINK to view "Let's
Talk About CB-48-2020 - Property Tax Increase? ZOOM Town Hall",
that my colleagues Council Member Jolene Ivey, District 5, Council Member Tom
Dernoga, District 1, and I hosted last night. The three of us voted
NO on this charter amendment that could raise your property tax.
I am including four links below for your convenience,
1) ZOOM Town Hall; 2) the PowerPoint shared at the Town Hall
and supporting materials; 3) Link to Bill with the June 23rd
Committee of the Whole Meeting and our voting; and 4) NBC News
story.
I encourage you to watch the Town Hall and hear our
perspectives, why we voted NO, and the Q&A with the
constituents. It is important for you to watch to discern and decide how
this may impact you personally so that you can make your
decision. Knowledge is Power and it is vital to share with others.
So, please share with other Prince Georgians, so that they too will be
educated on CB-48-2020 before the FINAL VOTE on July
21st.
