Fulton County Tax Goof ~ posted by Bill Wright

Rumors abound about the fact that Fulton County's tax system has been offline since July 18, 2008.

According to the Fulton County website - Most Fulton Homeowners Will See Decrease or No Change in 2008 Taxes: More than 85 percent of residential property owners will see either no change or a decrease in the Fulton County portion of their 2008 property taxes, compared to 2007. This is due to either no change or a decrease in property assessment.

What is causing these discrepancies?

This is an impressive picture of the tornado that hit Atlanta ~ Since it hit at night, the background light in the clouds comes from lightning, which just happened to backlight this photo.

The photo was taken by Shane Durrance from near Howell Mill road, looking southward. The tornado is the dark shadow at the left, moving west (right) to east (left), about to go behind the Bank of America Plaza building.
