Damned if you do, damned if you don’t
Knoxvillians get to decide exactly which way they’ll get screwed:
It’s now a property tax increase vs. the wheel tax.
Knox County commissioners voted Wednesday night to enact an 18-cent property tax boost if a referendum to repeal the wheel tax succeeds.
In an 11-6 vote, the 6 percent property tax increase would only go into effect if voters repeal the current $30 wheel tax.
I don’t live in Knoxville, but I’d say ax the wheel tax. The reason is that your property taxes will go up some day anyway. That is the same reason I oppose the state income tax. I know that if they pass it, the sales tax will go up eventually anyway. Why give the bastards two avenues to raise the rates?
