[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 197950, member: 3373"] Why does everyone keep insisting that property tax needs to be fixed by the legislature? Currently they don't get one dime from property tax. It doesn't even go into the state treasury as it's paid to county treasurers. The county then divides the property tax money to cities, schools, parks, etc, based on the amount of mills levied for each entity. 1833 mentioned that the meeting he had attended were pretty much run by incompetent elected officials. Does that mean that he thinks all the legislators are therefore the only competent elected officials? Let me assure you, they are no different than your friends and neighbors who also serve on other elected boards. At the last ballot to vote on eliminating property tax the plan was to use the excess oil tax money to replace the property tax. That would have worked out well. Add in that the legislature was going to be assigned the job of deciding how to divide the money to each entity receiving property tax. Imagine that fiasco. Property tax isn't perfect and no one looks forward to receiving the tax bill in December, what is your other option and still keep the services to which you have become accustomed? [/QUOTE]
