    Loudoun County Tough Tax Questions

    Categories: Local Issues, Loudoun County Posted on November 4th, 2008

    If you made it out to the Loudoun County polls today to cast your vote today you would have noticed, I hope, that there were other issues to address besides who the next President would be…

    • A new food and beverage tax increase of up to 4%.
    • A new fire and rescue station in Western Loudoun.
    • A new Ashburn/ Dulles Elementary school at the cost of $21,810,000.
    • A new Dulles area High School at the cost of $82,235,000. 

    Though secondary to who our next elected officials will be, these issues are items that can affect our local economy for years to come.  While I recognize the importance of new schools in an area that is continuing to grow, I also recognize the continual  strain this places on the tax payers pocket book.  Since the average voter does not know the budget and balance sheet of their local government I am not sure that voting on new schools with ever changing prices is in the best interest of the average citizen.  Is this a decisions for voters? 

    Within the last year alone, the local Loudoun government increased our property tax rate 19% partially to help pay for the ever increasing costs of schools and the needs they have.  If approved, will these new schools force a new local increase?

    I do not have kids in school so I recognize that my understanding is limited.  Therefore, I appreciate your imput.  What do you think???

      I think it´s an apology…
      The goverment needs a alibi. There would be an increase of taxes etc. and after thouse you will ask your own the question : Where´s all the money spend to? Is it realy meaningful to increase the taxes/ would be there an amendment?

      My thinking shouds: The goverment makes mistakes, and “you (individual) will carry the can for it!” …
