Johnny Voted Against Raising the Millage Rate
Commissioner Wilson voted for the county to maintain a constant millage rate from 2017–2023. Coupled with the county’s frozen homestead exemption, this has saved homeowners millions of dollars on their county property taxes. This year, he was the only commissioner to vote against the county’s rate increase.

Commissioner Wilson has worked to ensure uncontrolled development cannot occur in district 1. The county’s future land use map has a rural-residential designation (light-green color) for much of south Henry County. This not only preserves the rural character residents want, it also protects the county’s reservoirs and our drinking water.

Property owners in Henry County pay a two-mill property tax to the water authority, but many residents in south Henry County do not have access to county water. Commissioner Wilson advocated for, and secured, the installation of 11 miles of new water lines. This provides county water and improved fire protection for rural county residents.
