Its that time of the Year Again : Its ‘for the kids’

Its that time of the Year Again : Its ‘for the kids’

Just in case anyone here doubts it…the majority of our ‘temporary residents’ don’t give a shit about the finances here or the taxes, since they will be leaving the rest of us once their latest offspring graduates RHS.(my neighbor just said this again and they were here for 3 yrs so far!)
They THINK paying more for teachers means their dumb kid will get into a better college.
And they ‘suck it up’, pay the taxes, then beat feet out of here.
I have a proposal, and it should be applied to property taxes STATEWIDE, just as is done in Florida.
You pay property taxes based upon the assessment or purchase price when you bought it.
It protects long time residents from tax increase from the whims of newbies.
Keeping long time residents who actually CARE about the community is why the newbies like it enough to move here.
And if you’re dumb enough to pay an inflated value for the perceived benefits…be my guest. Just don’t stick me with the tab.
