MABLETON — Eligible Mableton homeowners facing financial hardship can pay the city's new public safety tax in installments rather than pay the full amount. The program does not waive tax payment or create exemptions, but allows participants to pay in monthly installments through April 5, 2027, alongside any accrued interest, instead of the Dec. 4 due date. The Mableton City Council passed the installment plan Tuesday in a 6-0 vote with Councilman Ron Davis absent. The council created the tax, set at 4.5 mills, a number used to calculate property taxes, to pay for public safety in the city, including payments to Cobb County for police services, two one-year agreements totaling $22.5 million. The city is also using the fund to establish its own police department by June 1. Mayor Michael Owens said the program was developed after the city heard citizens' calls for relief. "The bottom line is this hardship relief program was created because of a need that we know citizens have," he said. The city is unable to waive interest payments because it is mandated by the state. According to Finance Director Karen Ellis, the interest on the deferred payments is 10%. The program is open to

'We were all farmers' —Thomas Ewing, 96, remembers Snellville’s rural roots

Of the rolling fields and orchards of Thomas Ewing’s boyhood, memories remain. “I can go down the road and name you the farmers, from the church on down the road, and right up the road, the ones that was farming during that time,” Ewing says. “We were all farmers.” It was 1930. The previous year the stock market had crashed, and Americans were losing faith in their banks, in their president, in the possibilities of their country. In the midst of the tumult Ewing was born in a four-room farmhouse his grandfather built on Webb Gin House Road. Briefly, the family moved to Atlanta to try a different life. They were driven back by the worsening depression, and remained on the family farm another two and a half decades. Ewing himself would not stay even that long.
