Minister Concerned That Tax Masquerades as Fee

Reverend Don Richards of Corinth Baptist Church in Loganville believes that churches should be exempted from the new stormwater utility fee. He feels that the new Gwinnett County fee is really equivalent to a tax (the check needs to be made payable to the Gwinnett County Tax Commissioner for example) and therefore churches should not have to pay it. According to the county, the fee is not a tax.
