VALDOSTA — The Special Council on Tax Reform and Fairness for Georgians visited Wiregrass Georgia Technical College Wednesday to hear citizens' ideas and concerns for improving Georgia’s tax code.
With Georgia’s biggest taxes being state, sales and corporate, the state needs to review its collection method to be more “efficient” and “effective,” A.D. Frazier, council chairman, said. Georgia should be concerned with becoming “growth friendly” and supportive of businesses, he said. The 11-member council is visiting cities throughout the state to obtain input on how best to handle Georgia’s taxation, at both the state and local levels. For the next four months, they will be accumulating information.
“We’re here to listen to you because we care what you think,” Frazier said. "We’re here because we believe it’s a sacred trust between us and you and the people who put us here.”
The council hosts the meetings to listen to and learn from the public, not to develop their opinions on how Georgia’s taxation should change.
