I think someone should wake up. someone needs to revaluate where the property taxes are distrubited to. BTC gets $ from property taxes and they make $100k or more and the k-12 teachers are in the ballpark of $30k-$50k. maybe the should take money from btc and put more to k-12 grade schools. but dont raise property taxes to do so. it is a simple fix.

Good Luck to EVERYONE involved. A fair negotiation most often results in no one leaving the table feeling as if they've won. It's immature to beleive that each side will get exactly what they want.
