Blount County Financial Problems and How They Will Effect YOU
by win250 
The County debt has doubled to nearly one quarter BILLION dollars since 2003. Blount County now has the highest debt per person in East Tennessee. A $46,000,000 balloon payment on the debt must be made next year. And County General Fund spending is growing at 2.5 times the rate of inflation.
Jim Folts, candidate for District 7 Commissioner, is making a presentation at the Greenback Community Center, on Tuesday, March 23, at 7:00 pm. In his presentation he will show why the May 4 primary will be a very important election, if we are to prevent County taxes from soaring. See this link for details. Learn more about Jim’s campaign at this link.
Jim will also be speaking with the Carpenters Middle PTSO at 6:30 pm on Tuesday, March 9 at 6:30 pm in the school cafeteria.
