Reader responds to city's property tax increase

Reader comment: "Property taxes need to be reassessed fairly across the board. Currently, there are vast discrepancies between the average citizen and those property owners that are connected. Hands get greased and property tax for the wealthy if often half of what the property is worth. Until the practice of unfair and illegal assessments are investigated, we do not need to think about an across the board increase. We already pay our fair share."
