A Report from the Front

Hawker couldn't make it to the conversation tonight at Poly with the mayor re: property taxes, but a texting tipster provided Hawker with deets!

"Lame turnout! Maybe 100? But compelling public comments re: inequalities and burden on long (retirees) and individual homeowners vs. business and large developers. Adam Meister in evidence along with other more private citizens. Comments still open via email and letter.

Also, some good citizen math & alternative revenue ideas, i.e., higher taxes on the many vacant & underassessed multi-family & commercial buildings."

(And yes, this tipster texted "i.e." This is why Hawker loves her.)

Anyone else there tonight? Or send a comment via email or letter that they're willing to share?

Talk to Da Mayuh!
