Real test for new North Carolina tax relief act
The county tax relief promised by 1931 legislation appears limited in many counties. Forsyth cut 10 cents, Guilford weighs a 17 cent cut only if bond refunds and fixed costs hold. Wake shows a rate rise to 1.14 but may shrink with revisions. The article warns most units will not show the projected 41 cent relief, urging strict tax funding and potential short-term higher levies to ensure long-term benefit.
