What are you smoking, and can I have some?

Hey, I’m the Doug. I appreciate the slip up, but Craig’s probably traumatized by it. Not only is he a better author than I, but his face for radio is much better than mine. If you saw us in the real world Craig would be the tall one with the six pack, and I’d be the short one with the keg.

Politics 101: $.02 is a significant tax cut. $200.00 is a minor increase. Usually it only affect the guy by the tree.

I got nothing. I just wanted to throw in my $0.02.

So there.

The way I read the this article, the proposal is coming out of DOR, and says only that if your property value is lowered during the coming re-appraisal, that will be reflected in your taxes. Proposed cuts, as mentioned in the Gazette article, seem to be coming from the lege and DOR, not the Governor's office. If he does promote a tax cut this year, it will be very interesting to watch as there seems to be increasing noise about the state being in financial trouble.

I’m not sure that’s the germane argument, jhwygirl.

If I pay $1,000 a year in property taxes, and the Governor does something that makes it so I still pay $1,000 a year in property taxes – that’s not a cut. It may keep me from paying $1,100 – and I appreciate the maintaining of my current bill – but it’s not a cut.

Explain to me how taxes won’t go up on people who’s property increases in value with the reappraisal.

It’s not New Math, it’s Political Math — where numbers are infinitely variable and all those normally-pesky math rules only apply when, and how, you want them to.
