Yesterday's last meeting with legislators representing Milton was a standing room only event.  Thank you everyone who attended and made your opinion known on the property tax debacle and other issues.  No legislator left that meeting thinking that the bill that came out of the House Ways & Means committee, H.887, which proposes not cost controls, but proposes two new taxes, was OK with Milton voters who showed up.  This bill will likely hit the house floor this week.

Here's an update from Behind the Lines on the testimony and influence of special interests on the super-majority which resulted in H.887:

Thank you to our Republican Representatives, Morgan, Mattos & Taylor for supporting the needs of the voters and working for us.
