"The increases in property tax are inflationary, and act as an impediment to home ownership. Some of our citizens on fixed incomes are being forced to sell their homes simply because they cannot afford to pay the annual tax bill, and that is a terrible situation.

"In my personal opinion, property tax is evil and unconstitutional. Property tax makes government your permanent landlord, whether you own your home or not. Even if you rent, the owner of the property eventually must include the increase in property tax on to your monthly bill in order to maintain a profit margin. There is no way you can ever truly own your own property. You could always lose it in a tax sale."

"While knocking on doors leading up to the election, the number one issue for the vast majority of people was the incessant, exorbitant increase in property tax each year. This is not unique to Johnson County. It is happening in many areas of the state."

Oh yeah. I'm with you on that. When a house alone makes someone a millionaire, they can and should pay taxes on it.
