I text my rep tonight and told him we should join the other states pushing for this.

With as much as they keep jacking up taxes then go for it. Sick of being taxed to death only for those taxes to go to piss poor performing schools and piss poor stupid inept city crap.

I'd be happy with no property taxes for those who are 65 years of age or older.
They've worked all their lives paying taxes, and are now on fixed income.

I’d be excited if they locked my property tax rate at the amount it was when I turned 65. It seems quite unfair that the Tax Assessor benefits from inflation while my house is the same if not worse than it was five years ago.

I worked for a large school district. If you think they are there to educate the youth of today you are sorely mistaken. The shit I could tell you about what really goes in there would never want to make you send a child there again.

Went to a local/rural school in the 80s-90s and it was shit back then. Can't imagine how worse it is now. "Public education" isn't about education.

the can deposit. When covid caused a panic, stores weren't taking cans and bottles back and a lot of redemption centers closed. Where's our money?

I'd rather pay my property taxes and NOT have to pay a state income tax as well as a federal one.

The liberals in Ames dont know of a Story County tax they dont like.
