Well, the Total property tax rate that they show is 5.951, which is down .2-cents from last year's 5.953. That .2-cent reduction is made up of a 2.3-cent increase in the Muni-side taxes, .2-cent increase in the County taxes offset by a 2.7-cent decrease in the School tax.
And don't be fooled by the political minutia - Joshi never had a Muni-tax reduction in any of his 4 years - just a cumulative 10.4-cent or 7.5% increase in the Muni-tax rate.
And here's where the increase in the Property tax rate of 4.8-cents came from over the last 4 years. Muni-side taxes up 13.2-cents, County taxes up .5-cents offset by a 8.9-cent decrease in the School tax.
And here's the last 12 years history of the Edison Property tax so you know the truth and who to thank.
Anyhoo, nothing going to change in this politically corrupt town until you take away the Dem-party stranglehold. The only thing that will change other wise is the names.
