Their are problems with tying increases's to inflation.
My home's assessed value has increased more than the inflation factor for many of the years I have owned it. However, now that we are in a deflationary spiral and housing values are falling, do we get a reduction in our real estate taxes or any taxes for that matter. On the matter of taxing Kyacks and canoes $2.00. Ridiculous, cost of the decals and people to administer and mail it would eat up most of the $2.00. Then we need more people to enforce the law. If we refuse to buy the stamp then what? Put us in jail. Yeah, right after Bernie Maddoff goes in.
I don't mind increasing boat registration fees if they go toward increased maintenance.
ce of the lake.
