How is that comical? That is real money to some people. If that is comical then it is even more comical that a false narrative is being pushed by the other side that everyone saw a 25% increase in taxes and that they were only for the construction of roads. Neither of which is true and raising the rate on the developer will have negative consequences and probably not result in a lowering of taxes. Growth causes a need for an increase in services which results in tax increases.
