Most people don't understand the mill rate basis and only understand the bottom line figure, which is included in what they can affors for a monthly mortgage payment. Most people understand that Jackson Co. funding $2mm for opioid addiction, stripping $42mm from the police and reserving it for "community engagement services", and funding pro sports stadiums. Most people understand that when your mortgage payment suddenly increases by $290/mo and you're on a fixed income, there isn't adequate time to make formulate a strategy. As is true of all levels of govt., they have completely forsaken their mission statement, and have become self-perpetuating, Diocletian monsters that have live by "reules for thee, and not for me".
