Tax hike eyed as legislature overspends
The Georgia legislature’s extra appropriations of about 400,000 more than the previous year push the state tax rate to around 5.40 per thousand, with Comptroller General Wright and Governor Candler to decide next week. Despite a 20 million rise in tax returns, the higher levy is needed to fund new widows of Confederate veterans, the state lunatic asylum, and university and other institutional costs, with a projected shortfall of about 340,000 to 400,000 even at the revised rate.
