Re: Property Taxes
Hi Ross ..we have been visiting Mexico for about 35 years and now in our later years really iike the vibe of La man..we rent on the beach for 2 or 3 weeks and often bring our grandkids down with us ... and as you asked ... I see a lot of need in the schools, with the health care and basic infrastructure which we all depend on...and yes I and my community have contributed significant $$ to local schools over the past years ... paying appropriate taxes ( property , tourist , goods and services ) is common in many parts of the world and does provide much needed funds for improvements ...I get it that many are opposed to tax .. I am not one of them .. our taxes in our village will be going up almost 50% mainly to provide for a much needed secondary sewage treatment plant here ..so I guess I am used to such a system .. fund rasing and donations to projects is great but a more systematic approach to raising capital might get more done sooner ...my thoughts anyway .. I am sure everyone is in agreement that water and sewer upgrades are needed ... probably some disagreement on how and who should fund .. we are all guests in a wonderful county and hopefully we all want what is best for most ..
