The following column is of my own opinion and not of the WBN.
To me, the local issues are as equally important as the people running for offices.
The Paulding County Board of Developmental Disabilities needs to be approved as it is a renewal and not an increase in your taxes.
The Paulding County Extension Office is asking for a .15 hundreds of a mill. This is a very small increase for all that they do.
The Paulding County Library Carnegie Library operating expense. This is a 1.5 mill renewal, actually it is a little decrease in taxes. We have a library circuit to be proud of.
Here in Antwerp, they vote on a renewal for city operating expenses, this is not an increase.
There is a levy for a new fire truck of 2.63 mills for 5 years. This is for a truck recommended by the NAVFA and some much needed equipment.
Look well to your ballot.
See ya!
