[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the vast amounts of construction along the Orange Line, you'd think the county would be flush with cash for new schools. If not, raise the tax rates. We'd still be nowhere near DC levels. [/quote] Money to build schools comes out of capital funds, not operating (tax) revenue, because you don't make today's taxpayers pay for something that is going to last 50 years, you spread the cost out. Tax revenue has gone up but so has cost for county services (not just schools), which is why the tax rate basically holds steady for the past several years. (For example--Metro repair costs.) The biggest constraints on school building are bonding capacity (we can only borrow so much and still maintain our credit rating) and land. [/quote] Implement a special tax on gym memberships and bars- hit the Clarendon bros where it hurts. [/quote]
