[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have the council members staked out positions on this yet?[/quote] If they are smart they avoid it entirely, since it doesnt need their vote. In theory it would need full council approval unanimously but since it doesnt- why would they go on record for supporting a huge tax increase?[/quote] Sorry for asking but can you explain? Do they need to vote for it or not? [/quote] By law any increase in the property tax requires a unanimous vote by the council, to raise the charter limit. The one exception is the state allows them to go around this to comply with maintenance of effort for schools funding. So, a bit of a gray area- but I dont think it needs their vote- and they are probably quite relieved about that.[/quote]
