[QUOTE="Rod, post: 422454, member: 7436"] Counties and cities are scrambling to pull in as much $$$ as possible fearing the measure will pass. There is over $30 billion sitting in various funds at the state level. Replacing property taxes is pegged at $1.3 billion. Enough money and time for the legislature to get their heads out of the sand and fix the system they screwed up. While some champion this is a local issue, it is to a point. The legislature has on the books over a 100 exemptions to property taxes resulting in the rest of us paying to underwrite the lifestyles of developers, investors, people with political influence and renaissance exemption users. The legislature in 2012 promised us "comprehensive property tax reform". Never happened. They threw some money at the problem but never fixed it. Property taxes are necessary but they had ample time to fix it. They wouldn't address the exemptions so this is the end result as to why i am voting yes to get rid of property taxes and make the state start over with every property owner paying their fair share.
