We continue to encourage moving ahead with revaluation of our homes for tax purposes,
and we got the Men’s Club to become a member of Citizen’s for Property Tax Reform,
which is working for a more equitable state-wide solution.
We need to control growth so that our taxes don’t skyrocket from costs of education
and our roads and services don’t become overwhelmed. Important steps have been taken,
but much more residential building could come.
