I so hope she runs for reelection as she is so valuable in her accounting skills. This looks like something that keeps the taxes funneling back in but it will benefit our grandchildren more than us. Like planting a pecan tree, it will take years to mature. If Escambia County and Pensacola can do it and keep their money for themselves I believe and hope Century does it. And Old Man I really don"t think the Burden will be on folks like you. Century has a heart, it will be slow and steady. I imagine with tax rolls on the computer, a spread sheet can be generated to be able to account for this. Its not about swimming pools and such yet. It is just a tool to keep tax money from going into the general fund. The taxes will increase in the Commercial and Industrial sector if possible and residents and private home may follow. I hope to see more empty historic homes restored and somehow entice a developer to build more new affordable housing to be built for our wonderful senior citizens and others that need it. That will also increase the property value. A drop in the bucket soon fills up. A hole in the bottom drains it.
