$2 BILLION AND MELVIN “SKIP” ALSTON; FORMAL ETHICS, RECUSAL, TRANSPARENCY, AND PROCEDURAL DUE PROCESS COMPLAINT REGARDING GUILFORD COUNTY, NC COMMISSIONER CHAIRMAN

Guilford County’s 2012 revaluation had a -.0.5% decline in property taxes. In 2017, the increase was only about 1.6%. But under Chairman Melvin “Skip” Alston, the 2022 and proposed 2026 budgets are tied to dramatically larger reassessment-driven tax increases 25% and 19%. The complaint asks whether taxpayers were given meaningful transparency about the true scale of the property tax increases and the $2 billion school construction debt strategy built around them.
