I have no problem paying my local property taxes. It pays for our police, fire department, public libraries, and yes our public schools. It helps pay county services such as our sheriff dept, county jail and local roads, etc.
I’m actually paying much less in property taxes here in my rural county compared to the taxes I used to pay in Upstate NY
That's almost always a lie, and if it isn't a lie with your current politicians, it may become a lie with the next generation.
Most of those taxes from all sources go to their pet projects or kickbacks from employing overpaid contractors that do as poor of a job as possible to look okay for a couple years, just long enough to be "forgotten", so that they can come back and do it again.
What area so I can leave this shithole
There are so many better ways to raise money than taxing people year after year forever, on property they own outright...or would own, if not for the taxing "authority" actually owning it.
That's the thing with these "bundled services" bills.
You have no idea where the money actually goes, if anyone really needs it right now, and you can bury a mountain of fuckups and bad spending underneath it all.
Are your police contracting with any neighboring areas? Is your fire department professional or volunteer? The Sheriff can be funded by fees. The jail can be funded by prisoner labor. Roads can be funded through your license plate.
At least then we would know what things actually cost.
