I have often wondered how much our property taxes have increased over the years but have been unable to find any data on this subject other than for a single year. It would seem that tracking government spending is not as popular as tracking worker’s wages. It is not sustainable for the various levels of government to be taxing us with increases that are greater than the average increase in wages and for retirees on a fixed income the squeeze is even worse. The proposed 8.99% increase is way out of line. Thanks to Grumpy Taxpayers for bringing this and other subjects to the public’s attention.
