This Year’s Featured Local Suburban Tax Hike Scam

OUR SOREHEAD IN THE SUBURBS says Tax Hikers in the Northwest Local School District (wherever the hell that is) have a $76 Million Bond Issue and Tax Levy Scam on the November Ballot. Last May Tax Hikers wanted around $84 million. The Blower wonders how much lower the price will go next time, if they lose again. On November 3, voters of the Northwest School District will have the chance to vote “yes” or “no” on a replacement levy for the five-year emergency levy that expires at the end of 2015.

But Anti-Taxers say in deciding whether this is a good investment of your tax dollars, please consider the fact that

Northwest residents pay some of the highest EFFECTIVE TAX RATES in the county, and they don’t need more money to waste by removing existing schools and building new ones.

All this information below is from the county auditors web site.

This is what our anti-taxer claims his taxes will increase by if this levy passes:

Northwest LSD-Bond Issue($76,000,000) Additional 2.82 $0.00 $96.47 C,D,F

Northwest LSD-Current Expense Additional 1.00 $0.00 $34.21 C,D,F

C – Proposed for the November 3, 2015, election.

D – Two levies combined into a single ballot issue.

F – Northwest’s 4.52 mill emergency levy expires 12/31/2015. The current cost is $135.63 on a $100,000 home.

The Blower asked the friendly folks at Ramshackle Realtors how many of those $100,000 houses he could find for us in the Northwest Local School District. “You’ve got to be kidding!” they said. The Blower couldn’t find any of those $100,000 houses on the Hamilton County Auditor’s Web Site, either.

And did you ever notice how whenever Tax-and-Spenders want to steal more of your money, they do two things. First, they flim-flam you by telling how much the tax hike would be on a mythical “$100,000 house,” and then they conveniently forget to remind you that YOUR increase (if you would bother to figure out how much that was) would be on top of what YOU ARE ALREADY PAYING EACH YEAR. And they never tell you to compute the NUMBER OF YEARS.

So yesterday The Blower also explained how Voters always need to find out how much Humongous Tax Hike Scams are really costing them, and if any part of that Northwest Local School District is in Hamilton County, property owners can check out the Auditor’s Web Site Here
