Jay GreesonGetting on the bandwagon
We all know Hamilton County Mayor Jim Coppinger is presenting his proposed budget next week.
We also all know that the county school system is asking for us to give it an extra $34 million for “their best effort” at improving student outcomes. The school district’s request would require a hefty property tax increase.
The town of Signal Mountain is getting into the tax hike arena with a proposed increase. And now Collegedale is apparently proposing one, too, to the tune of about 39 cents.
Looks like once someone breaks the ice, lots of folks are willing to dive into those icy waters.
