The city is only putting off the residential annexation until next years legilative session.

According to the AJC article “As for the residential areas, Johnsa said a proposal to incorporate those areas could be pitched next legislative session.”

My take is the city council still wants to build the TEN MILLION dollar shelter and the excuse that the funds are available doesn’t add up. Even if there’s SPOLST money available and even if there’s money in savings, at some point it is reasonable to see where the city will try and replace the money spent from savings through more taxes.

The whole idea that recommending a much larger government in a down economy should serve as a lesson for voters to show up at the polls and turn all of these out.

I’m sick of all these politicians who think that getting elected entitles them to an ATM card for my bank account.

If he doesn't understand the rules for homestead exemptions with his long history on Lilburn's planning boards then what makes him fit to be responsible for setting property tax rates?

Price isn’t fit to hold office – he should resign. If he doesn’t understand the rules for homestead exemptions with his long history on Lilburn’s planning boards then what makes him fit to be responsible for setting property tax rates?

Obviously, we who do not want to be part of Lilburn weren't able to vote these stooges in. Eddie Price is a real piece of work. He needs to mind his own business and keep his slum lord policies out of our business. I live in un incorporated Gwinnett and am perfectly content with the level of government as it now stands.

If the mill rate of lilburn city is higher than the County mill rate , does it not mean that my property tax will increase? there is a saying , "If it is not broken don't fix it". I am satisfied with the service and mill rate of the gwinnett county except the recent change in garbage and recycling issue. what is the need of annexation? is it a voluntary annexation or is it gone be decided by referendum? is the municipal mill rate is higher than the Gwinnett county mill rate.?

They will raise you taxes and still you will have to use gwinnett services. Why not just let the people vote..... Looks like a land grab to me.

If this is simply to raise $..the Lilburn City officials need to be more inventive instead of annexation! I did not vote for any of these people in office, yet I will now be forced into following their nonsense rules (i.e., No karaoke or Texas hold'em in restaurants?) and pay DOUBLE THE TAXES!! I don't want to be part of Lilburn. The leadership of this town does not represent my interest. I went to the park in downtown Lilburn one time in 5 years and was asked to leave because my son and I were playing ball. Leave us alone! Why is this needed?
