...tonight at the council meeting when she said that "when others don't pay taxes it increases taxes for the rest of us."
Yep, the others that don't pay their taxes:
Villa Italia Bombers Paul Mitchell, the Forbes billionaire Paris Hilton and her family with their Hampton Inn Marcella's Appliances Parker Inn The $26 MILLION property with the gold ceiling known as Proctors Key Hall - that banquet hall for the rich and famous
To name a FEW
And the "rest of us" are the financially struggling homeowners, many of whom already simply did not have the money to pay their taxes because the city made them pay to renovate downtown and the homeowners didn't have money to maintain their own homes, so the city financially penalized them for even little things like the size of house numbers, and then after that theft from their assets, the homeowners has no money to pay the taxes so the city "steals" their homes too. These are often people who have had their homes for a long time and now they lose.
But the money spent on downtown is supposed to help the city. How is it helping? What benefits have been realized thus far?
And I DEFY ANYONE to prove that the above is not true
