The population in Richmond County is going down, and city officials are in denial. Six have gone to Savannah for the Association County Commissioners of Georgia's spring fling (training meeting). City Administrator Fred Russell, meanwhile, left town for a week to serve as "feed zone coordinator" for the Tour de Georgia bicycle race, which started here Monday.
The U.S. Census Bureau says 900 people have left Richmond County since 2003. Now where could they have gone? Let's see. Some must have been among the 3,362 who moved to Columbia County. And a sprinkling might have been in the 2,057 who moved to Aiken County.

ATLANTA - County officials say it would cost millions of dollars to distribute refund checks to Georgia homeowners as part of a property tax break state lawmakers approved last week.
The size of the refund could also vary widely from one county to another. And the paperwork required to process the returns could take months, according to Jerry Griffin, the executive director of the Association County Commissioners of Georgia.

A charge made to developers to offset problems arising from new growth - called an impact fee - has attracted the spotlight after changes to the structure of such a fee won the support of a Georgia commissioners association.
In Columbia County, one of Georgia's fastest-growing counties, it's a charge that probably won't affect developers anytime soon, though.
