Michael Ryan in the Mountain Eagle runs down some folks still complaining about the tax break Greene County officials recently gave to the Athens Generating power plant. The plant is not new, so the tax break was not some incentive to get it to move to the area. So many citizens were opposed to renewing the tax break for the New Athens Generating Company that Athens legislator Edward Bloomer said he was in favor of the tax break, but was the lone vote against it because he said so many of his constituents opposed the decision. Bloomer said, "I think it is the best way to go....There is a significant volume of people in Athens who disagree with that, people I respect, being far more learned than I am. I want to honor their voice. I vote a reluctant ‘no.’” The story does not say exactly how much money taxpayers lose by giving the power plant another 20-year deal. Greene County Legislature Chair Patrick Linger said, "At the public hearings, they mostly heard from people against this, but the loudest voice is not always the right voice.” Read more about this story at Porcupine Soup.
