The county is required by law to advertise any proposed increase to the tax rate above the constant yield rate, or what the government is able to collect year over year to bring in the same amount of revenue. This year, the constant yield rate had been determined to be 77.55 cents per $100 of assessed value, an increase from last year’s rate of 77 cents even.
To fund absolutely everything at the requested levels, the county now reports and will advertise a jump of 15.7 cents. Several high-ranking officials within the county have said this large of an increase is unlikely.

I am glad the WorCoComms are asking for taxpayer input. After being overwhelmed every year by the BdofEd and their unions' smackdowns, the taxpayers must engage in this process!
ReplyDeleteThe taxpayers are often given an "opportunity" by the Masters to give input.
ReplyDeleteRemember the Bridge toll "citizen input sessions"? How about the gun control measures in Maryland?
The politicians can barely control their laughter as they watch "we, the people" act like what they say will make the slightest difference. Those citizens....they are SO earnest!!
Want to start fixing the problem?
Bring about 20 feet of rope to the next "citizen input" meeting.
Just dangle it as you are giving your "input".
I understand your cynical outlook. However, Messrs. Bunting and Bertino are not of that political ilk as they aspire to be representatives and not rulers. Don't let the politicians win!
