Top Stories:

Tragedy Strikes During Storms:

A devastating event unfolded Monday morning when a woman tragically lost her life in a house fire during strong storms. The incident occurred in Dallas, where firefighters responded to a 911 call about a home ablaze with the man's disabled wife trapped inside. Despite their efforts, the 62-year-old woman was found unconscious and pronounced dead at the scene. The State Fire Marshall's Office and the Sheriff’s Office are investigating whether the fire was storm-related.

Proposed Property Tax Increase:

The Paulding County Board of Education has proposed a 3.2% property tax increase for 2024. This will raise the millage rate to 17.675 mills, meaning an increase of about $80.67 for homes valued at $371,000 and approximately $81.77 for non-homestead properties. Public hearings on this proposal will be held at the Board of Education office on Atlanta Highway in Dallas on June 4th at 8:30 AM and 6:00 PM, and again on June 11th at 8:00 AM. The final adoption of the millage rate is set for June 11th at 8:30 AM.

Walmart Launches Pet Services:

Walmart has recently opened its first pet services center in Dallas, offering routine veterinary care, grooming, and self-serve dog washes. As the pet healthcare services market grows, Walmart is expanding its offerings to meet the needs of pet owners nationwide. Additionally, Walmart+ members now benefit from Pawp’s telehealth service for pets.
