 This little toon really caught my eye. Not because I think it is funny but because it really strikes close to home. We received our yearly notice from the county telling us they were going to raise or real estate taxes 3% again. The reality is that property values throughout most of the country have stagnated or even decreased. Tazewell County certainly wouldn’t let anything like reality interfere with filling their coffers based on false property value evaluations. They are supposed to asses each property to keep it current but they simply tack on a percentage of the previous value. We get very few services from the county that reflect the amount of money they extort from us.
