City of Dacula 2012 Tax Rate Increase

The City of Dacula is advertising to raise their city tax millage rate again for the third year in a row.  When verifying justification for raising the tax rate, I was told they know that they will receive less revenue because property values are down. Can you imagine this kind of thinking? Guess what, no proposed 2013 budget has been discussed yet, nor any areas of where the budget can be cut or tightened! You should see what some of these employees are earning with all their benefits! Are we, as City taxpaying citizens going to stand for this? All of our services come from the County, except trash pickup, a $1mil dollar gazebo park and random road patch.

Please get involved and show up at the Thursday, June 28th hearing at City Hall to help fight this increase. All of you and our families are having to buckle down as our budgets change to our revenue, why doesn't Dacula follow suit like other cities in Gwinnett?
