Marylanders Fed Up Over Taxes


iconMontgomery County residents are fed up with property tax increases reports the Washington Post. Residents are writing their representatives in droves complaining about the increasing cost of living. They are so fed up, they are even threatening to vote (GASP!) Republican.

Requesting a list of council members who have voted to increase property tax revenue beyond limits set in the county charter, [Colleen Carrigan] wrote: "Please inform these members that I will actively and adamantly lobby to ensure their defeat in upcoming elections. I will cross party lines and vote Republican in order to keep from being financially exploited as a homeowner, as will many of the neighbors to whom I have spoken."
The cries seem to be falling on deaf ears, however; at least in the case of the council President.
Potomac resident Stuart Carroll, a business owner who has two sons in public school, has sent two e-mails to the council. In response to his first, council President Tom Perez (D-Silver Spring) wrote to say that regardless of the percentage increase in his assessment, his property tax increase would be capped at 10 percent.
Only a politician would think that a 10% annual tax increase is reasonable.
