The special election to increase your taxes is coming. Every vote counts. Whether you vote Yes or No is your decision. But if you don't Vote, don't complain about the results.
Is this Operating Millage increase a 29% tax increase? Yes it is. Even the city assessor agrees. (
Hear his words) What the Yes vote people are doing is combining this separate millage with all of the other city millages, Capital, Refuse and Debt millages, to try and fool people into thinking that the city is asking for a smaller increase than they really are. They even go so far to include school, county, SMART, Zoo and all the other taxes collected that are not city taxes to even further reduce the percentage. Is this being deceitful? You bet it is.
