Our Say: Sorry, taxpayers: Smaller assessments won't provide relief 'Extraordinary cause'

The truth is, it's another tax increase...when we need it least. And The Capital newspaper takes a brave no stance, concluding:

"As assessments rocketed up, most county residents were not paying taxes on anything close to the full assessed value of their homes. Now, even if those assessments have cratered, those residents are probably still being taxed on less than the full value, and there is ample room for the tax to keep going up 2 percent a year.

That's good news for government officials - who need every cent they can rake in - and rotten news for homeowners who don't see any other relief on the horizon."

Here's the question - Is it good policy to allow the increase? Maryland Conservatives say NO!
