COMMISSIONER .JOSEPH E. FLESCHER NONE <br /> ME, COMMISSIONER PETER D. O 'BRYAN <br /> McE. 1 . SENATE BILL 270 <br /> Commissioner O ' Bryan expressed concerns about the impact that Senate Bill 270 (slated <br /> for approval in July 2011 ) , would have on the County ' s budget . He explained that the Bill <br /> proposed doubling the early payment discount for property taxes from 4 % to 8 % , which would <br /> result in approximately a $4 million reduction in available ad valorem taxes . He outlined ways <br /> in which the reduction would hurt the budget, and anticipated that the County would have to <br /> increase the millage rate to handle fixed and other costs without dipping into the reserves . He <br /> pointed out that people who are experiencing economic struggles would be unable to take <br /> advantage of the early payment discount and derive no benefit from the Bill . Further, he <br /> affirmed that budget decisions should be made locally during the County ' s budget hearing <br /> process, not as a result of an unfunded State mandate . <br /> February 8 , 2011 16 <br />
