[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elrich Wants to Drop Property Tax Hike, Impose Income Tax Hike Instead

This man truly is a dullard. [/quote]

Why is this a problem?  I’ve lived in my home for quite a while.  It is now valued at over 3 times its purchase price — and my property taxes have increased accordingly, although my income has not.  If I have to sell my home, it will be in large part because of property taxes — which I have no control over.  As a senior, this shift will benefit me, and will be the difference between my ability to age in place vs facing some very painful and possibly dire choices — with property taxes as one of my biggest expenses.

It's a problem because Elrich has never met a tax increase he doesnt like.  
So whether it is property tax (which goes up anyway with assessments), or this.... its literally his only idea on governance.   Taxes.  More of them, all the time.   As those with the means and choice leave moco, and those who move here are recipients of government programs.

If there was a good reason for an increase in income tax- I'm all ears.   But Howard County literally just balanced their budgets without either a property or income tax increase.[/quote]
