In addition to the public hearing and notification, works to control the amount of revenue a taxing entity may collect by calculating a "certified tax rate. A certified tax rate is adjusted as property values change to bring in the same revenue as last year from the same properties. Any new con n? stipulates that taxing entities must comply with two requirements: public notification and a public hearing.

Health notes The nations obesity epidemic has gotten so bad it may soon overtake tobacco as the leading cause of preventable deaths. U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher says the toll of obesity threatens to wipe out all the country's progress fighting cancer and heart disease. Some 300,000 people a year die from illnesses diratly caused or worsened by being overweight. Some 60 of adults are overweight or obese, as nearly 13 of children. The reason is simple; People are eating more calories-super-siz- ing their fast food and on living junk food. Satcher is now calling for a national attack on obesity. Among his recommendations: - Schools must provide daily physical education for every grade. P.E. has gradually ban disappearing, particularly for older students. Just 6 of schools require it for high school seniors. - Schools must provide healthier food options, and better enforce federal rules restricting students' access to junk food in vending machines. Employers should provide time for workers to get physical activity on the job. After all. healthier workers mean employers' insurance and absenteeism costs will drop. - Industry should promote healthier food choices, including "reasonable portion sizes." - The government should help fund programs to make affordable fruits and vegetables available to families. "Sometimes the most fattening foods are the cheapest," Satcher says. low-inco- vv : Health Benefits fa TorTS Entire Family , $70 -- - 7 FLAT RATE , OR 'TNth a dacMiri can pregrw ar in trtwi rca.
