The value of the houses drops dramatically and real estate taxes go up. Which party has almost all the seats on the State Legislature?

In New Mexico the state is democRAT. Our property values were mandated by the legislature to increase by 6.1% even though insurance companies and real estate companies are revaluing most properties down by 25 to 30%.

all the RATs that live in NoVa should be happy to pay this extra money and much more, afterall, the people who happen to reside there are just there to serve the needs to the State - that's what RATs believe, and that is what RATs do. They should be thrilled to allowed to “live to serve the State”.

Not to mention, Virginia’s personal property taxes, county vehicle sticker (tax), State income tax and so forth...

Lived there for a bit over a year, Virginia is one expensive state in which to live.

Glad I moved back to Texas.

Not too bad. I was expecting increases like $5,000, but instead most people are getting tax cuts and those who are paying more will see slight increase of about $250 - $500 per year. Wealthy estate owners about $1,000.

>> slashed programs

Yeah, right. I’ll bet they slashed.

Probably more like “decreased programs’ rate of growth”.

After all, local programs are “for the children” and “for diversity” and “for the environment” and NO PRICE IS TOO BIG TO PAY.

Don’t you people know that we are not being taxed more to pay for a business (government) that never reduces workforce or expenses for any reason (including a recession...they simply go out in the back yard and pick money off the money tree when they need some more!

I’m sure when the market comes back around the taxes will be adjusted accordingly.
