But again, all of those city residents and commercial property owners also pay, and have been paying,  as long as they have been in the city limits, county property taxes, too, and that eases the burden of services on the Counties.  So who really is and isn't paying their "fair share"?

You both are still missing the point. The cities can use annexation as a means to raise funds for education. The county doesn’t have the same capabilities. So when the response is “the county needs to pony up and pay for education” they don’t have the same methods to raise funds that the cities have. 
 

Again, even with services provided, the city is coming out ahead. They’re not going to annex an area to break even or lose money.

And you are missing the point that the city residents are paying city taxes for their own schools, and they are also paying county taxes to fund county schools that their children aren't attending, so the county is getting the same taxes from those city residents to fund schools as the property owners whose kids are attending county schools are paying.  

It's really not rocket science.

Yeah the cities receive split dollars from the county, so to say all of their county taxes are funding county education is false. I'm not saying that the city is siphoning off revenue from the county through annexation. What I am saying is that people within the city usually state that the county should spend more if they want to fix their issues. The only means the county has to raise additional funds is through tax increases. The city on the other hand has the ability to annex to raise funds without raising taxes.

And moving money for capital gains isn't rocket science either. If you don't like it, get out and vote for someone who will change the law.

    • I think the OC is a guy the he brought from Fulton with him. I am not sure though. I have heard a lot of conflicting information. It seems like a couple of coaches that he hired have since been let go.

    • If someone needed their grades pumped up surley it would have to be for someone needing it to get to another level. If your intending on going to work right after high school it wouldn't matter. Why would someone in their right mind think if they screwed it up in high school that their ready for college. It has to be for an athlete to get them over the fence to get in and from that point the school their going to will cheat them through the rest of the way for their athletic skills just like the rest.
    • The new school will be on that road behind Home Depot next to a church. I'm wondering if this could take from Greenback or could it be the end of Greenback, they only have 200 students.
    • Yeah it will take the county kids in that area that were going to lenior city. They will move down to 4a I think
