Let's see, I'll be paying $3300 dollars next year if nothing changes.

Well, in the last three years it's gone up 100 percent.

Something has to be done, but we need to be much more aggressive.

A whole vast majority of the residential population -- the renters -- who will be affected by the property taxes, has not been addressed in any of the relief.

The way we read it, they're going to come out with a tax rate that should reflect a lower rate than what we have now.

It's not like everyone's getting those types of raises every year, and some of us are even losing now.

I'm sure there are all sorts of solutions out there, but we need time to look at them and see how we can put a fair tax burden on our people and still provide the necessary services.

If it works out, there's no need for a tax credit, it actually lowers the tax rate. But we'll face this issue again next year.
