[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. [b]People with means vote with their feet to neighboring counties, and VA. [/b] Revenue is down again- and schools are a little worse, and crime is up. So what do we do- raise taxes. Rinse, repeat. [/quote] People with means would pay tens of thousands of dollars to avoid a property tax increase of a few hundred dollars per year? I mean, maybe, but it's not a rational response.[/quote] Except MoCo already has near the highest income taxes in the state. This is 10% increase in property tax in a single year. Keep increasing taxes at that rate and see how well thst turns out for the county 10 years from now. People will absolutely flee crushing income and property taxes. Look at Baltimore.[/quote] Montgomery County's population is increasing, not decreasing.[/quote]
