Rutherford County No Tax Increase Campaign

“As a tax paying citizen of Rutherford County, I understand that the Rutherford County Board of Commissioners is considering the options available to provide the Rutherford County Schools and county departments with the necessary funding to meet their budget requests. I also understand that the County Manager has suggested the only way to fulfill the requests of the Board of Education as well as the approximately thirty county departments in their entirety is by raising property taxes for Rutherford County residents by as much as 25.2%. 

I wholeheartedly support funding a School Resource Officer for every school in the county under the administration of our elected Sheriff, and I support a wholesome education for all Rutherford County students in both public and non-public education. Moreover, I urge the County Commissioners and the Board of Education to commit to work together to exhaust every avenue possible to fund the most vital needs of Rutherford County Schools and county departments without raising taxes for the residents of Rutherford County.”
