[quote=Anonymous]People are being unnecessarily harsh on OP. There is no single person, even in DCUMland, who is 100% in control of everything and/or is able to save enough money for every possible contingency. The circumstances right now are exceptional. To be laid off during normal times, fine, just go out and get another job. During these times, not so easy. Even if you have many months or years of emergency savings, big tax hikes hurt. So yes I think it is a terrible time to be raising property taxes so much. The problem is irresponsible spending and lack of stewardship on the part of the board of supervisors. Regular people are the ones stuck with the consequences. Let’s not forget that unless you bought your house quite a few years ago, downsizing locally isn’t really a solution either if you need to decrease expenses.[/quote]
