This is a proposition that is so ill conceived when it is thoughtfully considered that remaining silent is not an option. I am supported in this opinion by all except a handful of municipal assemblies, mayors, city managers and civic and commerce organizations throughout the state. This is a statewide proposition that denies all communities within the state the right to decide for themselves how to pay for local taxes. For this reason alone it should be rejected. I feel like I am getting a great deal.
Taxes are an ongoing responsibility.
If you don t have children in the school system the odds are that you once did. If you don t like supporting senior services the odds are that some day you will. These taxes must be raised in some manner. Some people pay more, some less, depends on the value of their property. If you pay more then you have a more expensive house and you can afford to pay more.
