Franklin County farmer renews tax protest efforts
Franklin County farmer Roy Webb and a group of large landowners renew protests over personal property and real estate taxes. They plan to sue in the Franklin County Circuit Court after a September 1 payment deadline, keeping protested taxes in escrow. Webb argues taxes burden farmers unfairly, questions the state multiplier, and pushes to abolish the coroner’s office as a cost-cutting step, while awaiting state legislative action.
