The fact that this referendum has generated such a voluminous amount of posts which contain both accurate and inaccurate information, strongly suggests to me that it is not ready for prime time. If the pros and cons and costs cannot be clearly articulated, I will have a hard time supporting it.
The following questions deserve a precise answer:
Let’s assume a home has a 2022 (current) TRIM notice of “X” dollars which includes all ad-valorem and valorem taxes.
1. Assuming the lowest variable fire fee(s) proposed, what would my new “X” be?
2. Assuming the variable fire fee(s) are at maximum, what would my new”X” be?
3. What specific advantages are there to vote “yes”?
4. What are the specific disadvantages to vote “no”?
If these questions cannot be clearly answered without ambiguity due to so much variability in the calculations then the proposal needs more work.
