JEFF GILL | The Times Flowery Branch resident Ed Asbridge speaks to the Flowery Branch City Council Thursday night about the proposed tax rate in next year’s city budget.
After another small showing at a Thursday night public hearing, Flowery Branch City Council is now poised to cast a final vote on next fiscal year’s tax rate. The proposed rate of 3.264 mills would keep taxes the same for all residents except those who had higher reassessments this year. City resident Ed Asbridge implored the council to dig deeper into the budget to see if it could make further cuts and ease what will be a tax hike for some residents.
