Carol Explains it For You

Carol Coletta has a nice post explaining what the latest round of re-appraisal and tax rate increase means, and getting into the numbers of it. Good information and explication. She cleared up some questions I had.

Of course, being Carol, she then goes on to plead for "smart growth" and for "just a penny more" for pet programs. It's actually about 5 cents more per taxpayer, and isn't that always the case with folks who want your money for their projects? "It's just a little bit; it won't hurt."

I think Shelby County voters are finally being heard, and clearly, on the "just a bit more" pleading.
