Fine...but how do YOU think the County should account for the lost revenue due to the income tax structure ruling?  Other counties just appear to be cutting budgets. not trying to make up for the shortfall.

And we have not had a significant property tax rate increase in YEARS!  So, yea if it happens again next year, I would be right there with you.  If does not happen for another 5-6 years, I am not so concerned.

Sorry...I just do not subscribe to the theory that every tax increase is bad.  And as far as illegal immigration, you are not collecting property taxes from a lot of them because the majority rent. In which case, you are STILL collecting taxes from their landlords.  And even the ones who have purchased ARE paying property taxes. [/quote]

One way: stop spending so much?  IDK, maybe some of us this a junket to Cuba (and god knows wherever else) is excessive?

Guess what, I haven't had a PAY increase in YEARS!  Matter of fact, my take home is now less because of insurance premiums have gone up tremendously.

Hey silly, renters DO pay property taxes.  It's included in the price of the rent!

But hey, what's ANOTHER $350?  That's almost 2 weeks of groceries for my family.  Or a car payment.  Or several months of Metro passes.  That's about 15-20 tanks of gas...

Should I go on?  [/quote]
