Comparison of Gwinnett and Atlanta reactions to tax increases
While I have been largely out of the loop recently, I did follow the Gwinnett property tax hike battle. I want to take a moment to note how pleased I am that my fellow Gwinnett residents were so upset over this proposal. In this new era of big government, big spending, and likely higher taxes, it was refreshing to see that Washington’s line of thinking won’t fly in Gwinnett.
On this topic, I found this article in the AJC comparing the reaction of City of Atlanta residents to Gwinnett County residents over similar property tax increase proposals to be very telling.
Kudos, Gwinnett! Remain vigilant and keep our elected officials accountable!

We need to renew the spirit of Button Gwinnett, our namesake, an original signer of the Declaration of Independence. We need to stand up to the arrogant political class from Lassiter, Bannister, Kenerly, Bueadreu to Oxendine to Isakson and Chambliss.
The BOC, State and Feds, none them are in touch with the people they represent. They only cater to the developers, corporations and lobbyists.
