Tax equalization urged as farmers' last hope in Georgia
The Constitution publishes an interview with State Senator Grant Perry arguing Georgia’s tax equalization law could rescue farmers from chronic poverty. He notes past cattle tick funding fell short and that the tick remains devastating to cattle and beef production while state ag institutions starve for funds. The plan, Perry says, would add up to one million in revenue without taxing individuals, enabling essential agricultural programs and tick eradication efforts.
