re: #656 realwest

WHAT? Your property taxes AND your assessed valuation BOTH went up?!
I tells ya, Washington State politicians could learn something about taxation from NYC!
I am sorry to hear about that and the rule I ennunciated in my #622 isn’t hard and fast. The year AFTER I got my last divorce and the former Mrs. Realwest owned our REALLY FINE condominum all by herself, Mayor Bloomberg raised the property taxes 19%, though he did leave assessed valuation where it was.
I am sorry - but, if I’m not prying, how come you AND your wife are on salary freezes?

Shh, don’t tell ‘em how NY does it.

My company just went through 10% layoffs, other in the industry had 30%. The CEO took a 20% pay cut, at my level no raise no promotion this year.

My wife is in the medical field, a physical terrorists (therapist she says). Therapy is getting cut.

We both have jobs, so can’t complain much.

The tax increase stings, but McDimwitt getting 50% assessments?
