Hopefully it will take several years to max out the increases. Many are viewing this as they did the "25%" property tax increase, it was really not 25% of your taxes but a much lesser amount based on just the local tax. Much ado about little. Compared to where most of us came from we are doing very well.

Let's not talk about what we can and can't afford. If SUBWAY increase sandwich price 3X, would you still go there? If Chevy increase the cheapest car price 3X, would you still buy it? I have not heard anything like 3X increase other than Shkreli increasing diabetes medicine for 1200% or 5500%. I am just asking TV's wise people whether this is acceptable to you or there is a reasonable explanation that I have not heard yet here.
As of yet, I have no reason to believe the next bill ( as soon as it passes ) will be less than $359.
