A special group formed by the state legislature to analyze Georgia’s tax code began a fact-finding mission Thursday that will help shape any changes lawmakers make to the way Georgians pay taxes next year.
Some 100 people showed up at the first public hearing of the Special Council on Tax Reform and Fairness for Georgians in Atlanta Thursday afternoon. They listened and provided input about how the current tax code affects residents and businesses and how it can be made more fair, said council chairman A.D. Frazier.
Of that 100, about 15 made comments to the chairman, Frazier said.
Similar fact-finding sessions will take place throughout the state over the next two weeks, including a Sept. 9 session at Gainesville State College, as the council begins to form opinions on the future of Georgia’s tax code.
