The Board of Commissioners discussed the issue at its Monday work session. At the same time, the Douglas County Taxpayers Coalition was outside the courthouse holding a big sign that read “Ax the Tax.”
The group also handed out flyers to people entering and exiting, letting them know about the proposed millage rate increase and encouraging them to speak out at public hearings scheduled for Tuesday at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. in Citizens Hall.
