There's a great role for bloggers in tracking that issue

Hi Norma,

First, you're welcome. Thanks for reading and commenting.

I think that property taxes are going to be an issue in many local elections in the coming year, and the pressure will be in two directions. On the one hand, certainly homeowners will be pressing for revaluations. On the other hand, municipalities will probably also see pressure to maintain services, especially since state and federal funding for many services will likely be cut or remain flat.

It would be great if bloggers could track this issue over the next year or two, and the results could be collected in a central location, like placeblogger.com.

Thanks again.

Kim-This is an interesting and important article. Thanks for it. One thing, though, you didn't mention is the impact of property taxes, especially when those taxes are indexed at the higher, previous value of the home. Are you aware of any discusssions at the municiple level about rolling back property taxes to reflect the newer, lower home values? I'm not.

You said the P word for me

I find it hard to understand why it was so easy for the Repubs to impeach Clinton because he had an affair (okay, he lied about having an affair), while Bush gets off scot free despite the many atrocities he has committed and lies he has told.

The Dems are such wimps.

How on EARTH can anyone call Obama an "immigrant"? Because his father isn't African-American?
