A reader urges a strong NO vote on the Tax Increment Financing proposal citing a $36 million deal for 84 undeveloped acres at $430 000 per acre and a 30 percent revenue siphon to cover county services. The letter argues the plan favors one developer and questions legal eligibility while noting other developments will proceed without TIF.
Local residents oppose the TIF plan for Trolley Run Station and Sage Creek projects arguing it diverts 30 percent of new development taxes to bonds and increases burden on existing homeowners. They call for a public ballot and question equal treatment and overall tax impacts.
The article notes Representative Skipper Perry conceded a mistake in supporting the override of the TIF bill. It questions why a second review wasn't sought after the governor vetoed, citing Perry’s claim the bill was complex and suggesting the vote followed fellow legislators' urging.
