Freedom of Speech would like to thank the McCoy gang for pitching in and getting the job done. As far as John Q Public goes, excellent job of showing the enormity of the average homeowner's tax bill outrage.
This is a fine example of property taxes gone wild!
The voices of the outrage taxpayers will only get louder after the discussion at last nights council meeting. Our Mayor asked the council not to approve an ordinance regarding downtown TIF Funds.
This TIF money that it owes to the EDIT Fund for Bond payments that our city EDIT was used to pay off the Parking Garage Bonds in the amount of about $3.5 million.
If that $3.5 million was returned to the EDIT Fund, then the EDIT Fund could pay for projects and save money in the general fund to lower our property taxes.
This is a fine example of special interest vs. citizens needs!
