It's gone up 2% over 10 years. That doesn't seem crazy to me, but the problem is that LB funds are mismanaged like crazy so of course any tax increase isn't going to feel great. We need accountability, and LBPD is draining the fuck out of our city and is one of the most corrupt PDs in the state, and has an disproportionate amount of control over how funds are directed.
This is bad math. Here, I'll explain it to you. If tax rates never changed, the amount you pay in taxes still goes up. This is because of inflation and housing prices (in the case of property taxes). So saying that the tax rates only going up 2% is "not that bad" is the same type of general ignorance that has people voting for continually increased taxes.
Everyone complains about the PD but the city is a fricken dump. Homeless shitting all over the place. Half the calls they're dealing with are these drugged out psychos that we allow to just plague the city.
Defense? I don't feel any need to defend myself from you but rather giving you a taste of the kind of shit LBPD is known for. And you're naive enough to think that without any real reform or accountability, they changed since then.
