Dear Board of Commissioners,

I am writing today to ask you to consider a moratorium on new home construction permits and water hook-ups in Douglas County and to find ways to cut the county’s budget for 2008.

Glenn Richardson, in address to Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce, said those who are against his push to end property taxes are liars and biased.

State House Speaker Glenn Richardson (R-Hiram) pitched his plan to wipe out all property taxes to an audience filled with holders of the purse strings he'd like to cut.

And he did so unapologetically.

Richardson belittled his critics. He said an independent study that gave a thumbs down to his proposal was biased. He suggested the leader of the Georgia Municipal Association was "a liar."
