[Vision2020] property tax hike?

[Don Coombs]

I thought the letter sent with the assessed value notice did a good job 
of pointing out that 1) assessed values had to be increased to meet 
state requirements, and 2) that did not mean that individuals' taxes 
would increase by that same amount, or perhaps at all.

The amount of funding going to the different county and city and 
cemetery (!) etc. categories is added together to determine the total 
needed, and then the assessed value comes into play in determining how 
much each individual needs to pay.

I think I get my money's worth from state and county taxes. I have had 
no child in public school for more than 25 years and I think I still get 
my money's worth.

Where I don't get my money's worth is from what is euphemistically 
called National Defense, but which recently has developed into bullying 
other countries and other peoples.
