I thought Search and Miller were elected in response to the increase by the other commissioners. Am I remembering incorrectly? Getting old so wouldn't be the first time.

You are correct, the 25% increase was before they were elected. Also, the article fails to mention that despite the so called 9.1% rate cut, most homeowners taxes actually went up because the rate cut was more than offset by increased appraisal values. Realize that what you read about local politics in the Daily Sun is always twisted to support the agenda of the newspaper’s owners.
