I'm not sold on these provisions. I know I'll get beat up for this stand.

1) I still think the problem is more on government budgets esclateing than on anything else. Get the budgets back to 2003 levels and then I will be willing to discuss tax reform. That alone would reduce the tax burden. All you are doing here is shifting the tax revune from one source to another.

2) I'm not sure this isn't away to allow property values to stay high or in increase in the future. I'm still not convinced the huge property value esclation was not due to artifical reasons.

3) My property taxes are pretty low right now. I don't want anything to change. And I don't understand how if my government can work on low tax rates, why can't others?
