Another "creeping" tax on property owners.  Pretty soon the property tax owners are the one's who will need free/subsidized housing.  Let the social justice warriors and trust fund babies in PT get out their check books if they want to feel good.  If you really need the money, jack up the sales tax - everybody pays.  If you need more money, get a group of small business owners and housewives together and have them go over the existing budget and determine where to cut and where to add.  They do this everyday while keeping their own hands in their own pockets.  Quit penalizing the property owners.
