Thank goodness for Michigan’s Proposal A that limits the amount that property taxes can be raised, but are then reset when the property is sold to a new owner.

And the property taxes that I pay for my home in Indiana are $1800. That is why it is their back up plan.

How about Arkansas. Retirees over 65 can never have another property tax increase by law. Arkansas is tax friendly to it’s senior citizens.

It’s just like Federal Income Tax ... take it from your paycheck a few hundred at a time and things are fine. Make people write a check for the full amount once a year and there would be a revolt.

If that increase is a common one, look for a lot of insurance fires followed by relocations rather than rebuilds.

My God, thats criminal. Thats more than my mortgage payment per month.What's criminal is the stupidity of people who keep electing people who fleece them over and over again. The good news is that people can vote with their feet.

If I were them I would not wait. Pretty soon they will not be able to sell their home except at a huge loss. I see the average home in that area in a few years like most of Detroit.

Thank goodness for Michigans Proposal A that limits the amount that property taxes can be raised, but are then reset when the property is sold to a new owner.And since failure to disclose a material fact like that will result in legal action, it can render properties nearly unsaleable.

I’d have loved it if they brought up politics. Perhaps asking him if he voted for the people in power and how long he’s voted for them.

When Illinois passed it’s temporary budget a month ago, they allowed Chicago (only) to have their property tax cap lifted, to better allow Chicago to “catch up” on their pension liability.
It was the only way to pass the stupid budget. It only covers a half year, too.

What's criminal is the stupidity of people who keep electing people who fleece them over and over again. The good news is that people can vote with their feet. The problem is that they move to other places and continue to vote for the very same types of people that drove them out of their home state. They never grasp the fact that Dems are the problem!

Please DO NOT come to Indiana. We don’t want the Chicago mindset here.
