Voters, you did this to yourselves
I just received my tax bill, and it went up by $511. I see red. The newspapers said that tax bills would go up quite a bit, and they were right. Before Election Day the newspapers told the voters what Joseph Berrios was pulling on the homeowners by working to give big tax breaks to business, and what did the voters do? They elected Joseph Berrios.
Your taxes are going up at a record rate when your house value went down, and you voted the guy who is responsible for it into office. This state has got to have some of the dumbest voters because the politicians do these things right in their face and they vote them in.
When those who voted for Berrios open their tax bills and see the big increase in taxes, I hope they feel good about it.
