[QUOTE="MarbleEyez, post: 433420, member: 1292"] All of the people on my list are significant land owners. A vast majority of the people that are on the school board are ranchers that own 1,000+ acres. The individuals that are on the city commission owns multiple residential rental property along with a hospitality business. And 2 of the 3 county commissioners that I spoke with are ranchers and owner 640-1280ac of land. So they are the people who "pay the piper" a little more than just someone paying $3000 on property tax on their "Primary Dwelling". They were told by the people who were lobbying for it that each county commission, city council & School board would have to Lobby for the money that they were needing to operate their budgets. Well that isn't going to happen, and I would never personally be in favor for that. I'm all for less taxes, but you need to have a plan for how you're going to replace what is taken away. Especially in this case. 1/3 of our local school budget comes from mill levies in the county. The other 2/3 comes from the State, paid out on a "per-head" basis for student numbers. [/QUOTE]
