Taxpayers Association outlines tax reform plan in Aiken
The Taxpayers Association presses for property tax funding for schools while preserving home rule for county and municipal governments in Aiken County. It seeks CPI-based spending limits, an independent commission to study tax laws, local revenue via referenda, 8 percent bonded indebtedness cap, repeal of Act 208, and property tax freezes at 2004 levels with sale or major improvement exceptions. Local officials say they need a comprehensive study and further review before endorsing the plan.
