Dozens of people showed up at Macon City Hall, Tuesday to voice their opinions about a proposed millage rate increase. City leaders want to keep the same millage rate it's had for the past five years. Because of higher property values, it would mean a tax increase for property owners.

Tuesday the city held a second public hearing, allowing residents to give their opinion. People both for and against the increase shared their concerns with Macon City Council and the Mayor.

City residents have one more chance to address the council. The third and final public hearing is set for next Tuesday, March 16^th 3 p.m. at City Hall.
