[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It ends up being a vicious cycle. Revenue is down (or- Elrich can't control spending). So what do we do? Raise taxes. People with means vote with their feet to neighboring counties, and VA. Revenue is down again- and schools are a little worse, and crime is up. So what do we do- raise taxes. Rinse, repeat. [/quote] Exactly. Baltimore. Revenue is going to keep going down too. The demographics report for the county showed that the number of people in their prime earning years is declining while retirees are skyrocketing. The county can't grow the economy either, so their solution is going to keep raising taxes to plug budget holes. It will make people flee more and more, and MoCo ends up getting Baltimorified where people own $15k property taxes on $400-600k shoebox homes.[/quote]
