Verones Denounces County Tax Practices and Exemptions
Verones asserts in a lengthy statement that Aiken County discriminates in property taxes by taxing industries at 9.5 percent of cost while other properties pay under 6 percent. He cites specific firms Owens-Corning Fiberglas and Aiken County properties, notes school taxes and exemptions, and argues the 9.5 rate should not apply to industry. He endorses a uniform 6 percent rate and characterizes exemptions as temporary aids for startup losses, not permanent policy.
