MILTON, Ga. - Tammi Kimsey has thrown down the gauntlet and issued a challenge to the residents of Milton – fly your flag on Sept. 11.

Initially, Kimsey wanted her neighbors in the Avensong subdivision to take part. But that wasn't enough.

"After thinking about it more, I decided that I didn't want to just see Avensong accept this challenge, I wanted to see the entire city of Milton accept it," Kimsey said.

"Ten years ago, in the days after Sept. 11 happened, I remember how almost every home had their American flag flying proudly to show their patriotism and the solidarity our country had," said Kimsey. " I remember the feeling of pride I had seeing so many flags. And I want to honor the almost 3,000 who lost their lives on Sept. 11 in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania."

Now, 10 years later, Kimsey's son-in-law, Lt. Paul Christian Ritter, is serving overseas in the Navy, and his deployment has caused him to be largely absent for his newborn daughter's life.

"He has missed out on all of her 'firsts,'" Kimsey said. "The first time she rolled over, first time she started crawling, first tooth and she's very close to her first steps."

For all that time, his wife – Kimsey's daughter, Nicole, a Milton High School graduate -- has had to raise the child alone at their home in Washington state.

"I want to honor Christian's service to our country, and the service of the millions of men and women who voluntarily agree to put their lives and the lives of their families on hold, and are willing to go into harm's way in some of the most hostile environments, to keep a 9/11 from ever happening again," Kimsey said.

"On the anniversary of that horrible day, let's honor those that lost their lives, as well as all the military men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice, their lives, during the fight against al-Qaeda in both Iraq and Afghanistan so that we can all feel safe here in the U.S," she said. "Let's have every home fly their American flag with the same pride they did 10 years ago."

The City of Milton will mail property tax bills Sept. 20, said Milton Finance Director Stacey Inglis. After receipt, residents have 60 days to pay the bill without incurring penalties.

"Recently, we've had a number of citizens ask when they will receive their city property tax bills, because they have already gotten their Fulton County tax bill," she said. "We wanted to make sure everyone knows they have not missed anything."

Inglis said Milton has recently switched its financial accounting software, which pushed back the billing cycle slightly. The switch has also disabled the city's online tax bill payment system.

"I do not have a timeline for when it will resume," said Inglis. "But I assure every citizen in Milton we are working very hard to get it back up and running as soon as possible."

In the meantime, residents still have three options available for paying their bill:
By phone: Call 678-242-2500 and ask for the Revenue Office.

By mail: 13000 Deerfield Parkway, Suite 107G, Milton, GA 30004. Please make check(s) payable to City of Milton. Mail both the tax stub and your check or money order.

In person: Finance Office: 13000 Deerfield Parkway, Suite 107G, Milton, GA 30004. Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
