Despite last year's cut, which we were told would be a nearly insurmountable obstacle to overcome, the School District is likely to run a modest surplus this year.
Bruce, I think you are referencing the RTC posts which clearly state that those potential tax payments are based on a home valued at $600K. Its interesting that your numbers differ from the RTC's and I imagine that the truth lies somewhere in the middle. I think that your assertion that there is a scare tactic involved is disingenuous. People are already struggling with the cost of living increases we've seen over the last 3+ years. Just because these potential tax increase seem small to you, doesn't mean that they are to others, especially those on fixed income, retirement, etc.
