I think in some ways, it would be fairer to people who do not or no longer have kids in the oublic school system. I feel that as a person who has never had children, I should not be held to the same standard of payment towards school property tax. I do not mind paying property taxes because it benefits the county that I reside in, but more than half of my property taxes go toward school taxes. I fully support education, but I feel that people who do not have kids or kids in the school system should receive some type of credit or discount as we do not benefit directly from the school system I have been told that multi-family properties do not pay property taxes- but apartment complexes are full of children who go to public schools. I sent Glenn Richardson an e-mail when I found out he was trying to pass a bill to eliminate property taxes, but never received a reply. I still wish to pursue this as it bothers me each time I get a tax bill. I heard that California stopped having property taxes and their school system went downhill soon thereafter.
