Rep. Brian Echevrarria has a great article at Carolina Journal that talks about a proposal to limit property tax increases. Republicans are proposing a constitutional amendment. Statewide, steep increases in property valuations have increased property taxes; and we likely face potentially severe future increases. Local units of government are exploiting […]
