Perry. Having strong property rights with the eminent domain law in place is a comfort. Seeing what has gone on around the country where a large retail chain can tell the city they will generate more taxes,thus a city envokes eminent domain is wrong. Or a developer says same about lake or water front property where families have spent a lifetime building and imporving their home, only to see it taken,as has happened. So thank you gov. for this bill. Would be nice to see a shift away from property tax burden as is in place now. With economy on the brink,schools and all taxing enties have got to come back to reality. Should be a limit,say 5% of ones income that can be taken for all home taxes. Otherwise elderly,young,and those who hit hard times have massive tax bills on their homes. Add a percentage or two to sales taxes if need be, time for all to feel the cost of not paying attention, or just tossing money around. The days of the golden goose are gone, and a very real chance of a total finincial collapse is looming. Unfunded long term debt is in the hundreds of trillions and no one is talking about it. We either change,and it does hurt,but a total finincial collapse ends it all. Would be nada..no pensions for anyone,all gone,nothing.
