Rabbi Joins Proud Boys, Hands Out ‘Religious Exemptions’ From Covid Vaccinations. ‘Backwards reeled the mind’. Who can quote the original sentence, and who wrote it? No, it wasn’t Sondheim.
WH: Trump Docs Can Go To Congress. No doubt Trump will appeal. Sometimes, you (meaning me) have to wonder how Trump can afford to pay all these attorneys.
Are ALL North Carolina Rethugs Batshit-Crazy? Or was it just a recent full moon? We report, you decide: Madison Cawthorn. Lt. Governor Mark Robinson. This Guy. Question Of The Day: Was he wearing drapes, or a sofa covering? I’ve seen a jacket like that somewhere…but, where, where? I’ve got it! Ex-state Rep. Ben Ewing (and ex-state cop) had one like it, but the designs on the jacket signified items from an all-you-can-eat buffet, and he only wore that jacket when (literally) bellying up to an all-you-can-eat buffet. Which he did at every conference that he and I attended. Precious water-colored memories…
Biden Reverses Trump Policy, Restores Revered Indigenous Spaces In Utah. Still a lot of damage yet to be undone. One small victory at a time…
Statewide Reassessment Begins–Door To Door. Finally! Here’s why:
Last year, a Delaware judge ruled that the way the state’s three counties calculate property values for taxing purposes is unconstitutional. The counties have been using a method that taxes the value of homes based on what they would have been worth during the last reassessment decades ago.
Since then, certain types of property and actual market values in certain locations have gone up faster than other places. This leads to a situation where some property owners, often those with the most expensive properties, are taxed based on a smaller percentage of their property’s actual worth than the owners of other properties.
The judge’s ruling forced the three counties into the current process of reassessment, which is aimed at restoring equity and accuracy to the values used to calculate local tax bills.
And because it has been decades since reassessment occurred, most will see the taxable value of their property rise. But those property owners should not expect a tax increase commensurate with that rise in taxable value.
Of course not. This is Delaware after all. The only reason this is being done at all is because the Court is making them do it. It simply must be done in a manner that minimizes the impact on Delaware’s wealthiest.
