[quote=Anonymous]To put in perspective why Question B is such a terrible idea, part of the reason why there have been property tax hikes in some years is that the county has faced increasing costs/reduced revenue for reasons out of its control, including the state shifting pension costs to the counties and the Supreme Court case that impacted income tax revenue. Whatever you may think of these changes, the reality is that when there are unexpected increased costs or reduced revenues the money has to come from somewhere. Folks can go on and on about costs for "illegals" or financial mismanagement, but these things are honestly a drop in the bucket. The money will come out of things that people care about - like renovating schools, and library hours, and road projects.[/quote]
