It appears that the across the board increases average about 30%. I better not hear in November how we need to vote for a tax increase to pay for roads and schools. Of course, by then everybody’s house payment will have gone up by $150 and we will just be paying it and not giving a second thought as to why. Just once, I would like to hear the government stand up after one of these huge increases and say “Wow, we just increased revenue to our coffers by X, and that will go a long way toward reducing tax shortages and fixing Y”. But no, they will never mention this new windfall, and they’ll keep telling us they need more and it’s for the children.
