[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hope this legislation goes through. These country clubs aren't public green spaces, and they can just raise the rates on their ultra rich members to pay their fair share of taxes so that they're not paying lower rates than Montgomery County residents.[/quote] Offer them a choice: they can pay their fair share of tax rates PLUS open up to the public, OR, they can pay a special, super-high, punitive rate (like $10,000 per acre or higher) and stay private. If their privacy and exclusivity mean that much to them and their members, well, that privilege should be one they have to pay a premium for. [/quote] Why should they pay more to stay private? Is your back yard open to the public? I agree with not paying less but not more..[/quote]
