You got me! 🙂

• Yes, our property taxes are kind of high. There is legislation proposed this year to cap them at inflation.
• I don't think our Business Enterprise (payroll) tax is that high, but there is also a rollback planned for this year, from 0.55% to 0.50%.
• We receive our share of federal gas tax, and we have tolls on the major highways which generate money for road repairs. That's more of a user fee than a tax, which is much better!

All of that still doesn't change the fact that our workers take home 100% of their pay (from the state at least)! 🙂
