www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com A judge will soon decide whether Gwinnett County Tax Commissioner Tiffany P. Porter will be required to collect municipal taxes for a small city of about 5,000 residents.
The lawsuit comes after state legislators hastily passed a bill to prevent the tax commissioner from charging eight cities for municipal tax collection that would have supplemented her $141,098 salary by an additional $110,734.
A hearing was held on August 13 for the lawsuit that the City of Grayson filed against Porter in late July after she declined to collect the city’s property taxes. Public officials who attended the court hearing reported a large crowd attended, including some employees from Porter’s office who appeared to be there in support of her.
