I thought this might happen. In California we pay a max of 1% in property taxes, and guess what they charge us... the max, which is pretty low compared to other states, but then we have some pretty high property values.

Merry Christmas, JH2... it's funny how the microcosm/macrocosm dichotomy works- here in Brunswick Georgia, I just signed a petition to recall the Mayor and the entire City Commission.

The crux of it is taxes, and spending... the Mayor & Commission basically spent money like a bunch of drunk sailors on leave, ran out, and decided they "had" to raise property taxes 43%- which would drive many poor residents, and small businesses out of town.

Well, that provoked a firestorm, so they went back and "only" raised our taxes 18%- so fewer poor folks will be driven out of town...

I won't bore you with endless facts and figures, but let's just say that it looks like the recall will not even need to be done, because there is evidence of criminal malfeasance by the mayor and all 5 commissioners.

This is an offshoot of that Nov. 5 "Earthquake" that rocked Georgia, and the nation. DNC/DLC spin to the contrary, it's still rocking things. Citizens are fed up with having their pockets picked constantly "for the children..."

It's a good time to be a citizen-activist.
