Reader asks how much is enough for schools About: The difference 21 per person per year can make To ColumbiaMagazine.com All I hear is how much it will cost on an average, enough. How much is it going to cost each one of us. I am a business owner and have talked to several people and one person who is a big property owner told me it would make $4,000.00 difference in his taxes; and, yes, I said "difference." In today's aconomy people are just making ends meet; that is, people that work for a living. There are a lot of exploded salaries in the county, but for people that work for a living, and I speak for me and several people, we are taxed to death. This country was founded on taxation without representation and look what we have become. Something I would like posted for every one to see is how much tax dollars are collected in Adair County for the school on utility bills alone. I have asked a few people and no answer. If you post this or not is up to you and I am not trying to make anybody upset. Just telling my side and asking how much $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is enough.Thank you. s/Larry Foster, Jr. Thanks for your comment. You're right. A person with approximately $8,000,000 (Eight Million Dollars) in property assessment in Adair County would pay $4,000 difference in taxes if the tax needed to get a new Col. Wm Casey school wins on the ballot. If your assessment is in the $70,000 range, however, it will cost approximately $35 more, per year, in taxes. The amount of money collected by the school board and spent by the school board is public record. The office isn't open at this time (Sunday afternoon) so we can't answer your question on utilities tax, but it easy to get during business hours. Thanks for stating your position in a courteous manner. -EW This story was posted on 2009-11-15 17:45:47
