    Bambi? If I had a pet deer I would definitely name it “Frankly.”

    Ex-cops should be barred from public office b/c there’s no such thing as an EX-cop.

    To (half-) wit, Franklin Cooke, who is using his public office to stop police reforms dead in its tracks.

    Can’t wait for reassessment in Sussex, I can hear the weeping and wailing even now from the beach area. Should make for some eye popping increases in the taxes of the rich and near rich. As in “but you promised!”. Expect a few pathetic law suits, all to no avail as Sussex is dragged into the modern era. Now: On to Kent and New Castle.

      New Castle agreed to it last year. Kent is the only holdout left.

      Kent and New Castle already agreed to do the reassessments. Sussex was lagging. As usual it’s a money issue.
      Reassessments don’t bring a windfall to county governments. They’re allowed to bump up tax rates by 15 percent for one year (ostensibly to pay for reassessment) but then they have to reset the rate so the revenue they bring in post-reassessment is the same as they got before. What bugs the Sussex lawmakers is that 90 percent of the money collected from property taxes is for the schools, but the county, not the school districts, has to pick up the tab for the reassessment.
      Yes, the super rich along the coast will wind up paying more and the bourgeoisie a little less, but, even if their taxes are doubled, those refugees from NY, NJ and DC will still be shelling out only a fraction of what they paid at their former homesteads.

    Schools Scmools, a little tax justice is beyond welcomed. Sorry, hard not to see the lack of reassessment as a political game designed to entice the big money to the shore. 30, 40 ,50 years? That’s a political game and it remains very, very wrong. Only 15% to start? Well it’s a start, let it be the beginning and not the end. I’ve got to pay, my land was reassessed when I built a pole barn, they can pay too.
