Tax hike eyed on Aiken County budget by council
Aiken County Council opened its Fiscal 1999 2000 budget debate Tuesday night amid talk of a 0.75 mill tax increase to fund maintenance at Aiken Technical College. The proposed budget totals about 65 million with 63.5 mill tax base. ATC would rise from 3 mills to exceed 1 million in county funding if the increase passes. Rogers urged support citing maintenance needs and a 125 000 square foot expansion tied to state bonds and SARDI aid to offset Savannah River plant downsizing. He said assurances are needed that extra funds go to maintenance.
