O’Connell proposed cutting the tax rate by four
cents.
…”It really doesn’t matter
what the tax rate is, citizens will still be paying a much higher percentage,”
said Jim Moore, member of the Taxpayers Association. People will still be
paying more because the tax cut is not enough to offset real estate assessments,
which continue to rise dramatically. Now that this has been said in a public
forum, perhaps others will listen and maybe, just maybe the people will speak
up.
