		<description>Our taxes are increasing at a fiscally foolish time. Higher property taxes during a time of economic contraction will cause a downward spiral until everyone is involved in the collapsing vortex. Megamouth is like people at the back of the train laughing at the head-on collision of the front of his own train. &quot;We&#039;re all in this thing together whether you have felt it or not, yet.</description>

		<description>Looks like charlie still thinks defending tax, borrow and spending increases across the board is fiscally conservative again. I guess we will have to send him back to poli-sci and basic econ 101 again.

Here is my favorite by one of charlies crony-vendor defender boyz and what the S&amp;P thinks of his financial mgmt of MC:

The S&amp;P report stated: “In our view, the city&#039;s high overlapping tax rates, combined with high overall debt burden from the overlapping school district and many inside-city municipal utility districts (MUDs), preclude a higher rating.”

The report noted that the city&#039;s tax base was expanding and diversifying, and that its tax rate was “stable,” but that the overall tax burden can be “well in excess of $3.70 in some parts of the city.” – Houston Chronicle

Too bad that keeps Owen&#039;s bond rating lower than SLs and keeps them paying more on their borrowed money (AA-)....

PS-keep paying those tax increases charlie-boy for those fat-cat vendors and their bottom land bought at above market prices. You know the ones that contribute to your mayor and several other edc-backed politicians on that council that keep pushing that rate up.....hahaha</description>

Now to get this back on topic:

Tax Foundation Study Again Hits Fort Bend County Hard For High Property Taxes
January 29th, 2009  &#124;  by Bob Dunn 

...Fort Bend County has fared poorly in Tax Foundation studies for the past several years.

Almost two years ago to the day, the foundation released Census data showing Fort Bend at No. 5 on a similar list ranking property taxes as a percentage of median home value, based on 2006 data.

And using just 2007 data, Fort Bend ranked No. 8 on the same list, showing median property taxes of $4,229 paid on a median home value of $168,800 - equaling about 2.5% of that home’s value....

--Yes it would appear that the speaker was right on target as were all those who filed RECORD tax protests with the CAD this year......</description>

		<description>Once again talking out his bottom Patriot. Making assumptions about what others are or are not paying in taxes rather than addressing the article and the generally accepted view that we are one of the most highly taxed counties in TX per median home value. 

I know, it doesn&#039;t serve his no-bid vendor bosses who pay him to sit in here and disrupt these threads.</description>
