I received the following email concerning the proposed property tax increase...at least someone seems to be putting some thought into it.  Please feel free to express yours.  I will be happy to post them.

OK, What they don't want you to know.  The taxable value of CISD was projected to increase by $107,657,433 for th 08/09 school year.  At $1.34/$100 valuation, that generates $1,442,000 more tax income for CISD than the previous school year.  NOW, they are saying that they need even more money to run the district.  Am I missing something here???  Their budget was +/- $36,000,000 per year, so 1.4 mm is about a 3% increase in tax income per year.   Am I missing something here??   Please let me know if I am.
