What "market" necessitates an increase in spending and thus taxes ? Mebbe I don't "get it" but if the house market were tending towards increased house prices and thus increased evaluations then the tax rate should go down accordingly ... were spending to remain the same. The problem, if I may paraphase Glenn Frey, is the lure of easy money ... in this case OPM. The only disparity create is really btw lakefront and non-lakefront. Those out-of-state people of means don't get to vote on the spending.
