:ohdear: They all did and it will forgotten about come 13 months from now..... maybe 13 days. Some don't know 2 days later! Alot of Tax Payers don't vote here too!

I would suggest that everyone who cares, start (or continue if they already do this) helping, urging, promoting, and otherwise actively encouraging taxpayers to register, and then to vote. Y'know, instead of filing a complaint about the 9-inch white cross in Mr. Smith's flowerbed.

It'll accomplish so much more.

Well, as a full time tax payer I wish I could register to vote. Unfortunately, as a part time resident I can't register to vote in two places. Taxazation without representation at it's best. Al Butler, who supposedly represents the district we own a home in, certainly dropped the ball representing us.

:) Serious question...... don't they all Run At Large?


Never mind. I found the answer to my question.

True, but every homeowner who lives here pays taxes here too, most of them also vote here

Yes

Let's nominate from ToTV posters.
Who should run, Who will run???


:MOJE_whot:

If elected, I promise a free tacky pink flamingo in every front yard, right between the corn stalks!

Alrighty then! You’ve got my vote.

tax increase
 

the tax increase does not include the increase you get when the value of your home increases. If you are homesteaded this limits it to some extent, but if you are not you get the millage increase plus the full increase based on your higher assessment.

Always a smart move to vote your anger and not with logic.....yep, that will improve things. Are you planning on running?

No, I am not planning to run as I don't feel I have the skills necessary for a commissioner's position. My "anger" comment is my own self-incentive to be sure and remember this a year from now as politicians count on our short memories. How many times in your career did you get a 9.8% salary increase and did you set the amount of your own raise? This whole situation glares of lack of planning and on top of that they reward themselves with a huge salary increase for causing the problem.

OK. I understand the emotion here. But my question is this: Is anyone informed enough that can give us a true evaluation as to:

1) is the county being managed properly
2) was the tax increase actually needed
3) if the tax was actually needed, was the amount correct.

Nobody like tax increases. But sometimes they are needed. I want to know if this is one of those times. If it is, then I will not be angry at those that made the tough, thankless decision. If it was not needed, well I'm ready to vote them out.

I thought in one of the many topics on the tax increase it was stated that the Developer used to build the roads and then turn them over to the County for maintenance but when the Developer was asked by the County to start building south it was done with the stipulation that the County build all needed roads. Hence the need for a big part of the tax increase.

Very smart move by the developer. The question is why did the county agree to something like that when the precedent had already been set.
