As a life long conservative.....I've now changed my tune. We need a sales tax........We have lost 3 retired homeowners on my road alone who could not afford the huge increases on waterfront property.Please keep in mind,these are not wealthy people,just ordinary folks that happened to buy on the lake many years ago.Oh,I know,their property has grown in value,but what good is that to them? They don't want to sell,just live their remaining years in the home the've lived in all of their lives.
