No, I didn't mean to say that it didn't just not go up. by now
hopefully you've seen the follow up message, and you'll understand, if
you read the article, that it's a very complex issue, but in general
everyone's property taxes should have gone down.

So, you are saying the saving is that it did not go up in
taxes? So I did
not or will not get a property tax cut just did not have to
pay more taxes.
Hum, thought was suppose to get a reduction in the current
tax amount. Well
it doesn't matter the elected official is going to do what
they want any
how.

Thanks,

All you have to do is call your local tax assessor's office,
and they will
explain to you what your taxes would have been without it.

You aren't alone, Blackjack. If the taxes were lowered on our
apartment complex, we sure didn't see an of it.

In this case they aren't raising taxes, just shifting them

from property

taxes which were cut, to gas taxes to make up the lost revenue.

I know we need help in getting where we need to go. But

raising taxes

is not always the answer. I think they need to reorganize

how they do

things. Not just raise taxes and creating a bottomless

pot. Just my

thoughts.

Let the taxes begin, or let the drivers help us get to our
appointments, shopping or whatever.

Leon County commissioners to consider gas tax By Will

Brown DEMOCRAT

STAFF WRITER Leon County commissioners will debate

this afternoon

whether to raise the

price consumers
pay at the gas pump.
Counties have the option to pass local-option fuel taxes for
transportation expenses, which in this case would expand

StarMetro

service into

unincorporated

areas
of the
county and fund the county's Transportation Trust Fund.
Consumers in the county now pay 30 cents per gallon for

local and state

taxes, which
is on par with many counties in the region.
"It's sort of like sticker shock," said Jim Smith,

president of the

Florida Petroleum Marketers & Convenience Store

Association. "Look

where we

are today. The

wholesale
price of gasoline went up 16 cents last week. My members

reported angry

customers
- (but the customers are) not realizing we are just as

angry as they are -

and reduced
sales."
An analysis by county staff of the tax hike's

feasibility found that

transportation fund revenues will drop 1.5 percent

annually between

2010

and 2014, while

transportation
expenditures will grow 3.9 percent during that period.
At 6 p.m. there will be the first of two public hearings on

revisions to

the
county
ordinance regulating the permitting and placement of

billboards. The

ordinance is designed to limit the total inventory of

signs in Leon

County's unincorporated area, and to reduce the number

of signs

through a cap-and-replace

method in

place
since
2007.
For a sign company to install a new digital billboard, the

business must

permanently
remove as many as four existing billboards.
According to figures from the Department of Growth &

Environmental

Management, there are 66 existing billboards in the

unincorporated

area, but

also signs

approved but
not yet installed, and unused sign certificates for

billboards removed.

That
puts
the total inventory at approximately 76 signs.
The department estimated in a March 18 memo that the

billboard inventory

has
only
been reduced by 4 percent under the cap-and-replace rule.
d Democrat business editor Dave Hodges contributed to this

report. Contact
