Commissioners approve millage hike for 2nd time

The Baldwin County Board of Commissioners thought that when they adopted the new millage rate hike, they could begin moving forward. But a couple of errors forced them to hold another public hearing to reset the millage rate. Baldwin County Commission Chairman Kendrick B. Butts said that the county had to do it again because the state discovered some technical errors in the presentation of the first millage rate documentation. “So, we’re going to have to redo this again,” Butts said. The commission chairman noted that up to 10 people would be allowed to speak for three minutes each during the public hearing, just as the rules allowed when they previously adopted the millage rate increase. The hearing was held in the commission chambers meeting room in the county government center on Nov. 5. Desiree Liggins and her husband, Maurice Liggins, both requested to speak.
