wwkvoter Using your numbers it would be $526.91. I don't consider that ALMOST 600 and I'm glad that you don't do my taxes. You're assuming max tax increases over a long period of time and you can't have any way of knowing that will happen unless you can predict the future. But let me put it to you this way: I pay $260 a month for cable, internet, and phone. I pay three hundred a month average for other utilities. I pay $300 for our cell phones. My share of our health coverage is $175 a week. What do you think the charges for those items will be in ten years? My property taxes are the least of my concerns. I had two kids go thru the school system, if I own my home for 40 years I will then have repaid the city that money. And in all that time they picked up my trash and yard waste, plowed the roads for me, provided me with police and fire protection. I used the parks and the skating rink and pool and my kids played on the athletic fields. I consider my property taxes the best bargain I've ever had and if they raised mine a grand tomorrow I wouldn't mind as long as it would be used to improve roads and ballfields etc.

Sewer taxes are horrible but way better than when I had a septic system.

The contracts all need to be redone because things have to change but I certainly don't fault employees of the city for trying to get as much as possible for themselves, that happens everywhere. And Cote is a liar plain and simple, he lied about the trapping thing and he lied about the funeral thing. Whay would I believe anything he has to say on any subject?
