What exactly is Georgia Amendment 1? Important property tax question on the ballot
ATLANTA - With Election Day less than two weeks away and early voting in full swing, some Georgia voters are battling confusion. All Georgians will see Georgia Amendment 1 on their ballot this election season.
The measure addresses property taxes with a heavy dose of legalese:
"Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended so as to authorize the General Assembly to provide by general law for a statewide homestead exemption that serves to limit increases in the assessed value of homesteads, but which any county, consolidated government, municipality, or local school system may opt out of upon the completion of certain procedures?"
"The terminology is not what I would have written. I'm not an attorney, and it would have been very plain," Republican State Representative Beth Camp, who supports the Amendment, told FOX 5.
