HOPE NOT! "Harris County could approve a historic tax increase

@Cbear :
It was approved. Hilda was pretty angry about it

Where's DaVD meme for this?

@NeenaC0629 : She is always....so emotional! Well here we go...eating peanut butter and jelly or bolony when it comes time to pay.

@NeenaC0629 :

@Cbear : It amounts to a little over 200 bucks extra a year.

@UptownGirl : I was a bit afraid to look at the amount because of the the dramatic tagline "historic".

Do you have extra $200 ?

@Cbear :
Seniors have that frozen ceiling on school taxes and certain exemptions they will probably raise on city taxes

@Cbear : The article says a homeowner of a $400,000 home would pay an additional $193.

@Cbear : The Harris County Democratic Commissioners are thieves! Do you know all of their salaries and increases? $350 -$400K per year! They will never be voted out because of ignorant voters.

@lizzycav : Only seems to go up. Heck, I would be happy if it just stayed the same. No way would it ever go down!!

@GiggleMugs : Very sad. Well, they too will have to pay higher taxes on their homes so take that!!

@MissAmericanPie : Seniors and frozen ceiling on school taxes? Can you explain?

I dont think anyone has an extra $200 sitting around right now. Didn't they take that into consideration?? They interviewed a trucker yesterday on the news. He hauls frozen foods all over the country. His fuel bill went from $3,000 and week to $7,000 a week he paid this week. He can't afford to do it anymore.

@Cbear : Over 65 Tax Exemption. Humble ISD taxes,according to them, can not go up BUT may go down. Would not wait on that though, Property not sure about going up under exemptions.
