Glad people are out expressing themselves about the issue at hand.

Here is a picture of Jackson county officials expressing their excitement for that extra cash to spend on their pet projects.

Seriously, most of these are around $30-40 extra per month.

I posted the formula MO uses in another thread:

Assessed value x residential tax rate(19%) x your mill levy for schools, fire stations, whatever, typically (9%).

That 18,000 figure in one of these stories means that citizen was putting out something like $307/yr LMAO

82,000 x .19 x. 09 = $1,402/yr
126,000 x .19 x. 09 = $2,155/yr

That's $62/mo more. No more stinky indian food for some folks, even using coupons.

This liberal shithole should be cutting our taxes not raising them for what we pay and get

Oh, I get it. I wouldn't live in that county. Or Wyandotte.

Leadership in Jackson County is trash, from Q on down. Pretty sure Wyandotte has surpassed Jackson as a better place to live, but that's not saying much.

Just out of curiosity, how much are Jackson County residents paying, on average, per year for their property taxes, and how much are they looking at paying after the proposed increases?

Last couple of places I've worked have been downtown offices.

Most folks I worked with were south of the river urbanites and JoCo KU/Kstate grads that didn't even know there was anything past River Market.

I got some funny comments about how "they couldn't imagine coming all the way down here" and "what is there even to do up there" type stuff. I thought it was hilarious then. It's even funnier now.

I'm up by Weatherby Lake and Zona Rosa. Goddamn I love suburbia. You do have to pay more taxes for it typically though.

Bill you're gonna understand you're living in a cultural hub once you get that street car running to the plaza and big john's super stadium built

I see the culture everyday from bums & crackhead to hearing gun shots. What a world class city we live in

In reality the county has bills that have raised with inflation as well. It really isn't that bad overall.

I pay much more than that each year but we tend to have higher pay out here in the Bay.

Why do you subject yourself to living in a place you loathe so much? Why do that to yourself?

my personal meager raise isn't the point but trolls been missing the point since the beginning

if you don't stop them now it'll be worse next time

not gonna be tipping as much now either, SHAME!

This proves my point. You are not sincere about caring about others impacted by this. Your history here shows if it wasn't negatively impacting you then you wouldn't care one bit. Most likely would be making fun of them.
