That's why I've previously published the legal notice the County is forced to place in local papers each year announcing it is raising taxes via the automatic assessment-driven tax hike.<br /><br />It is clearly stated in law that this is a tax increase, and the County has indeed raised taxes each year.<br /><br />Furthermore, the law states that the only way to avert the tax increase, and therefore not raise taxes that given year, is to CUT taxes sufficiently to prevent the assessment method of tax hike.<br /><br />In short, my statement is 100% accurate.Robert Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975969463714952623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128562743162979576.post-56806379261778432052019-03-14T10:48:01.980-04:002019-03-14T10:48:01.980-04:00"The County has hiked taxes every single year..."The County has hiked taxes every single year this decade."<br /><br />Are you sure about that?

Secondly, isn't this project senior housing? Most are retired, not employed, and many will qualify for affordable housing. Via HOC, this project is being subsidized as affordable housing, so it hardly reflects a booming economy in moribund Montgomery County.Robert Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975969463714952623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128562743162979576.post-38758247562704503072019-03-12T18:35:44.003-04:002019-03-12T18:35:44.003-04:00Anon is correct.

So once again, I'll remind you that residential growth alone is not economic development. <br /><br />Residential development adds more new costs to city and county government than it generates in revenue, as proven by the County's structural deficit and overcrowded Rockville schools. <br /><br />The project will be a profitable success for Duball, but will not move Montgomery County out of rock bottom in regional economic development rankings.
