COUNTY PROPERTY TAX BILLS ARE ARRIVING

Got mine today. $266.71.

This is the 2nd year that the City of Canton has merged its City property tax with the Cherokee County tax bill so you won't be getting a separate bill from the City of Canton.

About 5 yrs (+/-) some rocket scientist in K Govt came up with the idea that the K property tax should be sent out by K instead of being a line item on the Cobb County property tax bills.

K is the only city in Cobb doing this, just as Canton was the only city in Cherokee doing it. Now Canton has come to its senses and merged their city property tax with the county.

Not living in K these days I can just assume they continue to bill separately so unless it has changed in the last 2 yrs K residents will get both a County and City property tax bill.

Just wondering why if all the other cities in Cobb and Cherokee merge their property tax bills with their county bills, why K is going it alone?

OK, not my problem I am out of K and pleased to have left after 15 yrs of watching it circle the drain.

COBB COUNTY  County commission OKs Mableton mosque 

A mosque, Masjid Qubaa - The Islamic Center of Mableton, and a retail or office establishment for the mosque were approved 5-0 Aug. 21 by the Cobb County Board of Commissioners.

Instead of the present appliance liquidation business, new uses by the Islamic Center - also called Mableton Center, Inc. - will occupy 214 acres at 6145 Mableton Parkway on the east side and north of Community Drive.

The mosque’s commercial tenant will occupy the front 1,000-square-foot building on Mableton Parkway.

Accommodating 100 to 110 people, the mosque will occupy the rear building of 3,625 square feet and be used 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day.

Undeveloped property behind the mosque may be developed with a playground or more parking spaces, according to an Aug. 6 letter from applicant attorney Lisa S. Morchower of Berman Fink Van Horn in Atlanta to Cobb County Zoning Division Manager John P. Pederson.

The buildings are flanked by two gas stations and Fanatics Sports Bar and Grill.

Jimmy D. Hester is the title holder, and Charles Woodard is the representative for Mableton Center.

CBS AGAIN GOES AFTER THE AJC FOR LITTERING
If you have 4 minutes and 38 seconds you can take a look at the 'Better Call Harry' segment.
See: http://www.cbs46.com/category/305287/better-call-harry
CBS has had 17 such segments over the years, most from 2010 when the City of Atlanta huffed and puffed about the AJC being a major source of litter in Atlanta. 4 years ago I even appeared on one of Better Call Harry's reports.
Unfortunately that came to nothing and the AJC continues to dump these unwanted flyers onto people's lawns, driveways and sidewalks.
Why do they get away with this? When living 15 yrs in Kennesaw I tried to bring this up to the useless mayor and city council. They would not tough it with a 10 ft pole. The issue pits the supposed 'freedom of the press' against an individuals rights to the quiet enjoyment of their own property. You mention 'freedom of the press' and politicians run like scalded dogs to get away from the issue.
So the AJC continues to dump crap all over metro Atlanta, 88,000,000 of these useless advertising flyers each year, all to save a penney or so over the cost of using the Post Office, which they did until about 2008 when they changed to using a delivery service.
If you want info on the issue you can find it at one of my 4 blogs on the issue at: http://www.atlantajournal-constitution.blogspot.com/
If you want to contact Harry here is his email address: Harry.Samler@cbs46.com

Here are links to 16 other CBS reports on the AJC litter:

WHAT'S IN THE 2018-19 KENNESAW BUDGET?

 You can find out by taking a look at the City site where the agenda for the next City Council Work Session is posted.  This is for the  August 27, 2018 6:30 PM City Council meeting and the public can comment on the budget.

 The only 2 items of interest to me is the continuing effort to pour tax dollars down the rat holes of the Museum and Gardens.  Here is what they are providing for the coming year: 

 Museum Fund,  $ 1,004,277

 Smith Gilbert Gardens,  $ 550,396 

 I believe the City is also paying off a bond for the Museum but I will leave it to you to look that up.  It is all money wasted.

 Go to:  https://www.kennesaw-ga.gov/  then under Government click on City Clerk then Current Agenda and download Agenda for 08/27/18
