"In addition, Hood said that the confiscation of $333.4 million in tax reimbursements to local governments will likely lead to tens of millions of dollars in property tax increases at the local level over the next year. A prior Locke Foundation report estimated that cities and counties had already raised their property taxes by a combined $75 million in 2002-03, citing the impact of withheld tax sharing and reimbursement dollars, with other localities still facing the need to adjust their budgets to meet the latest fiscal challenge from the state." That ought to make lots of friends at the county & muni level.
