I’m probably closed minded on this and all, but honestly I feel if you don’t own property in the city voting on the millage, then I don’t think you should be able to vote.

If you are not the one to pay the bill, why are you deserving to force property owners to pay?

Every year they pass new millages in the city I live in, it raises the property taxes. I’m paying as much for my property tax for my most recent purchase as I am for the mortgage payment. Granted, I got a steal on the house and used my own labor and left over materials to remodel it.

If you don’t get stuck with the bill….why not put a 150k lock system on the school when teachers are being cut and the keys on my home work fine, I don’t need a key card to lock/unlock my door. I don’t think the school really needs 250k to make another tennis court either. I also don’t feel the city needs to “upgrade” garbage service. I pay $600 a year to throw out 156 bags of garbage.

But, if I don’t have to pay for it, a tennis court could be fun.
