Money quote: Quote: But he added that, at least in Austin, where the property-tax burden on the average-value home rose 38 percent over the past decade, "increasing taxes won't get fixed until voters take accountability for a lot of this. They keep electing the same people and approving every bond package." **ing dips in Austin approve every ***n bond package they can press the "Yes" button for. 2012-08-23 18:19:24 Permalink*

Pietertvl Posts: 3587 Incept: 2007-12-05 NFA	The Fed reports data annually on nationwide property tax collections. Haven't checked the data recently, but as of several years ago, total collections were up FOUR times since 1988. Some of that is bec/ there are now more homes, of course. ---------- "All the perplexities, confusion and distresses in America arise not from defects in the constitution or confederation, nor from want of honor or virtue, as much from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation." ~ John Adams 2012-08-23 19:24:14 Permalink
