[quote=Anonymous]This is a serious hike that will adversely impact people on fixed incomes (seniors, disabled) and those who live paycheck to paycheck. Landlords will pass these costs onto their renters. So, while a $400 increase (modest estimate for a $450k house) doesn't seem like a lot to some people, it most certainly will be a burden to renters to have their rent increase by that much (or more). And BTW, the money won't go towards the schools. The county is scrambling for new revenue to pay for the recent lawsuit/Supreme Court ruling. [/quote]
