So that expansion was announced and begun well before your idea of "massive expansion" - no? And your taxes didn't increase then - or for so very many years up to that point! Maybe the impact fee will increase according to your alleged schedule in 2020.


One is never too old to run for office to serve the people in an honest/competent fashion! Based on my assessment of your post, you seem to think you know quite a but about local politics!
Why would the Commissioners wait until 2020 to increase the impact fee? That should have been done instead of increasing taxes once it became clear that a massive infrastructure expansion was necessary. The impact fee was not increased at that time, and property taxes were, for the reasons outlined in my original post.
