solid waste
At Tuesday night's Board of County Commissioner's meeting, the commissioners will vote to create a multi-jurisdictional, time-restricted Solid Waste Advisory Group (SWAG).

Solid Waste Tax District Public Hearing tonight 4/1/14 in Hillsborough.
I attended the public hearing on 3/18. Here are my
observations based upon what others have said.
1.
The main problem is that the county had a good
funding system which has been called into question. Many speakers supported the
fee system and feared that a tax district would cost them more.
2.
People with open land, forest or agricultural
land should be using the Present Use Value Program ( and other conservation
incentives) so their tax valuation should not be high. The majority of people
should pay less in tax than in the old fee since only a relative few have
higher assessed properties.
