The Tax Rates Are Rolling In …
Some local governmental entities are doing what they are supposed to: lowering their tax rates in response to assessment increases. Now, I know some of them are required to, as they appear to be very close to the legal cap — but a rollback is a rollback, so let’s give credit where its due. According to the Post-Dispatch, we need to give a shout out to Valley Park School District. Let’s hear it for Parkway schools! Lindbergh is in the house — or, I guess since they just lowered the commercial rate, I should say they are in the building! Perhaps some of these rollbacks should have been more substantive; I don’t know the exact details of every one. But they all deserve credit for rolling back the rates in response to assessment increases.
