“Move to a real town and see what kind of taxes you pay”

What a great quote in the SDN about the ad valorem tax situation.

Here’s the situation. Revenues are down. leaving a budget shortfall. The City has pared the budget down as much as possible. We’re borrowing to pave streets. Our water/sewer infrastructure hasn’t even been talked about. Taxes haven’t gone up in 20 years.

The question- is it time to raise property taxes in the City of Starkville?
