How Much the Bonds May Cost Taxpayers
A homeowner with $175,000 house will pay an extra $100/year. Wouldn’t it be nice if that amount of money would fix the schools? That seems cheap. That is just the tip of the iceberg though. Tax increases for Charlotte and Mecklenburg county must be included to that $100/year.
That combined with the fact that the favorites to win are incumbents in several districts make me think this is a referedum on the schools system. There is no real reform of this failing school system in sight. Without reform the tipping continues.
