[quote=Anonymous]The current way of calculating revenue from property taxes is based on past revenue, not the tax rate. Question A is changing it so that it's based on the tax rate instead, making it more straightforward for the County Council to increase your property taxes every year (compounding). Question B seeks to limit the amount of property taxes that can increase from year to year. If the County Council can't grow the local economy more than the rate of inflation, then they shouldn't be able to increase our property taxes more than the rate of inflation either. It's confusing because Elrich and the County Council want you to think no read it, think it's a binary choice between A/B, and choose A. A means enabling the County Council to tax more, while B sets limits. B still means your taxes will be higher year after year, but it goes up at a slower rate compared to A. I like lower taxes, so I like B. [/quote]
