Scott Yost has an article at the Rhino Times about the county commissioners’ budget funding various non-profits.

“Tax The Rich”
With the sudden rapid increase in socialist politicians in our major cities– including Greensboro– the messages in this video are extremely relevant:
Greensboro’s Property Taxes Increasing 19%
Just do the math.
Local Socialists Angling For Advantage On Property Taxes
Now that the General Assembly has frozen property tax valuations in Guilford County this year, that leaves the elected officials on the Guilford Board of County Commissioners and the Greensboro City Council in a bit of a quandary. They had been counting on being able to fool the citizenry by […]
Property Tax Increases: Down To The Wire
The Rhino Times had a good report on the county commissioners’ meeting during which large numbers of socialists turned out in support of tax increases.

NC GOP Victory On Income Tax Cap
Another achievement for the Republicans in the North Carolina General Assembly was the bill to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot to cap income taxes at 3.5%. This is far less than the maximum income tax rate when the socialists were in control until 2010. This is an especially […]

The Republican-led North Carolina General Assembly has passed a constitutional amendment that would limit the amount that local governments can increase property taxes. This bill was motivated by the massive property revaluations that have occurred statewide. Voters will now have the opportunity to pass this measure at the polls in […]
Guilford County Proposes Raising Property Taxes 19%
The county manager presented his proposed budget before the county commissioners last night. There has been some degree of obfuscation. The News and Record and WFMY do not make it crystal clear to their customers that a tax increase was proposed. One had to think analytically and understand at a […]
