No tax windfall despite 23 percent valuation rise in Cedar Rapids
Cedar Rapids residents ask where tax money goes after a 23 percent valuation boost. City revenues rise only 7.6 percent as state rollback and levies shift the burden to residential property. County expenses climb driven by indigent defense costs, public defender plans, and higher court and health costs. School districts and Kirkwood Community College gain, with Kirkwood up nearly 11 percent to 2.73 million.
