TAYLORS, S. C. -- Residents in the Taylors sewer and fire district go to the polls Tuesday to decide whether to become Greenville County's second-largest city.

On Monday night, about 300 people attended a meeting at the Taylors library to discuss the pros and cons of becoming a city.

Those opposed to incorporation said they're afraid their taxes will skyrocket.

"I don't mind being inside a city, just as long as it's not going to cost me too much and I'm going to get what I pay for. I don't want to pay $100 and only get $50 worth of service," said Taylors resident David Golla.

"I wish they would hold off on it, then do more research and come back within a year. It's just not feasible for citizens of Taylors," said Taylors resident Brandon McMahon.

Supporters said even if residents reject incorporation, higher taxes are inevitable.

There are about 24,000 people living in Taylors, but only those who pay taxes to the district for sewer and fire services are eligible to vote Tuesday.

Polls opened at 7 a.m. and will close at 7 p.m.
