D mill hike approved by council
The Aiken County Council approved a Fiscal 1998-99 budget with a four mill tax increase for solid waste and an additional mill for road maintenance. Councilman Eddie Butler led the amendment to add five mills, aiming to balance a deficit and fund a regional landfill under the Three Rivers Solid Waste Authority. The plan would raise about 2 million in property taxes and 1.8 million for road funds, aided by a 15 dollar vehicle fee, with three dissenting votes.
