I just gotta ask, when the lake property values shot UP 20% like they did a few years ago did anyone run to their town and offer to pay their new higher fair share of the property tax?  It probably took a year or two for the assessments to catch up with the sales values. I'll bet no one complained about the LAG then.  |
I didn't have to run to the assessors office. They jumped on the bandwagon very quickly'
Starting in 1996 Tax $7953, up 14% from 1995
1999 tax $9251, up 14% from 1998, 2000 tax $13057 up 41% from 1999,
2002 tax $14254 up 9.2% from 2001, 2003 $16964 up 18.9%
Overall Taxes up 127% for exactly the same house I built when I retired.
Completely wiped out my social security. Only live here 6 months, no children in schools. But my real problem is the way this country has lost any form of leadership and the candidates still mouth meaningless words. They do not have any plan to change the degradation of the currency, education, medical, immigration policies or deficit spending. Oh, by the way just received my oil bill, yup you guessed it up 68% from the beginning of the year. Fortunately we continue to have a low inflation rate.
system, immigration policy or deficts caused by this administration.
