Along with gasoline, diesel & heating oil going up big time, there's increases in telephone, electricity, and fire wood by the cord. Even McDonald's is talking about raising the price of their dollar menu, double cheeseburger from !.00 to 1.19. Foster's newspaper just went from .50 to .75.

Is there an increase in the number of 'homes for sale' signs, here & about, or is that just my imagination?

Everything is going up except the selling price of homes. Will property taxes go down when home values go down? Probably not, the town will just raise the rate to pay for all their increased spending. The money has to come from somewhere?

Looks like my property taxes for a quarter acre waterfront are up about 400% in the last five years.

Hey Buddy, got any spare change?
