Title: A reduction in property taxes, could cost you and me more, how? And what about Red light cameras...
Topic: Conversation with an Elected Official
Discussed by State Representative Gary Elkins
with Elected Officials
State Representative Gary Elkins sounds the alarm: there is a rush to reduce property taxes, but there is a catch. Be aware, many elected officials will try to mask a larger tax increase. It will not help if they reduce your property taxes by $500 if they reach into the other pocket and take out $800 to $1000 somewhere else! And, say no to cameras at street lights for three reasons: 1. Documented to cause an increase in injures by 24% 2. Why should a city profit from its engineering mistakes 3. If they were so effective in reducing the number of red light runners, why would they bring in so much money year after year? You would think drivers would just stop, but no, they really are encouraged to hurry all the more.
