[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You must have linked to the wrong bill, because the bill you linked to doesn't say what you say it says.[/quote]

It literally says the costs used to calculate taxes must be reduced by the amount of state aid. MCPS loses money. Developers gain money. It’s pretty simple. Typical YIMBY move to go with misinformation right away. [/quote]

It literally says, "The tax rates must reflect the
County’s cost to construct a student seat, reducing the rates by a
factor equivalent to the portion of funding for capacity-adding
projects in the adopted school CIP attributed to State Aid."

Which is not what you said it says, and it's also not Montgomery County giving school money to developers.[/quote]

You seem to struggle with reading. The bill reduces developers’ taxes based on how much money the county gets from the state for school construction and no other factor. 
The connection between state aid for schools and the amount of the tax break for developers couldn’t be any clearer. It’s in the plain text of the bill. If you don’t like it take it up with the people who wrote the bill or its only sponsor, council president Andrew Friedson. [/quote]
