Bay County Tax Watch Meeting

I went to my first meeting on Tuesday the 11th. It was informative and focused. They are working on a plan to attack the Bay County School Board budget. This is not to cut teacher salaries or to cut important programs. It is however focused on eliminating useless spending and unnecessary overpaid positions. (ex. 4 full-time locksmiths at an annual cost of around 200K) Also, they will be having a burn your trim notice on Saturday the 15th from 10-2 at Big City Fish. I encourage anyone who is concerned about their tax bill to attend the meetings held every Tuesday at 3pm behind the downtown post office.
