The other day I was examining my property tax bill, my first one. It is interesting to see how expensive it is, and where the tax money goes.
Taxes: County
- I am paying for a county airport that no one uses.
- I am paying for county employees pensions funds. That is fine, but because of the solvency of the county and state, those employees may never see their pensions.
County taxes are fine, but i think they will be wasted. Local taxes go mostly to schools and that is fine, but a closer examination of county taxes is necessary.
Township and Village taxes are reasonable, but it would be nice to see them re-examined. Like everyone, I would like to pay less taxes, but I am not holding my breath.
