Search-Miller 25% Tax Increase?
In the August 2 Daily Sun on page A9 toward the end of the article it mentions that Ulrich reduced the property tax rate 9.1%, the largest rate cut in years. This was contrasted to the "Search-Miller 25% increase".
I thought Search and Miller were elected in response to the increase by the other commissioners. Am I remembering incorrectly? Getting old so wouldn't be the first time. |

Read the article again
What the article actually stated was Search Miller increased the Budget by 25% (true) while the current commissioners increased the budget by 2 to 3% and decreased the milage rate by 9%.

The developer owns the paper and then tells them what to write. They will always favor the commissioners the developer wants in office.
You need to find information from an independent site |

Anyone who supports the Daily Rag (Sun). Is sure to drink the Kool-Aid and regenerate the propaganda. If you repeat mistruths enough people will believe it.

From the numbers available on the Sumter County Budget page and the recent Budget Workshop: - If EMS increased the budget by 25% then the current commissioners increased the budget 8% ON TOP OF the previous 25%! No reduction in the "waste" attributed to EMS, just take advantage of it, blame EMS for it, add another 8% to it, and then call it a savings. - EMS truly decreased property taxes by 1.5% (set the millage rate below the roll-back rate) while the current budget maintains property taxes by setting the millage rate AT the roll-back rate (no increase or decrease) To be fair, the 22-23 documents come from a July budget meeting and may very well be changed (up or down) in September.

I see your point. The author switched to spending after mentioning the property tax cut, which coincidentally was the same % increase as the property tax 3 years ago.

Was there not a 25% increase in the real estate tax about 3 years ago by the previous group of commissioners favored by the developer?

Here is the way I remember it. …………
25% tax increase Miller, Search, Estep elected Miller, Search demanded 75% increase in impact fees Developer offered compromise of 40% increase in impact fees Miller, Search would not accept that as a win and over-reached End result was ZERO impact fee increase Miller, Search thrown out of office for violating Sunshine Law and then perjury Ulrich and other BOCC reduced Sumter County taxes by about 9% …….and the drama continues as we get ready for another election.
