I viewed my property taxes online this week and blew a gasket. In these times when property values at best are holding steady my taxes went from pre-Katrina ($800) to over $2200. I don't know how in the world some people will be able to come up with the extra cash. This is a Republican dominated parish that is supposed to believe in low taxes. I don't think it matter any more what party you belong to.
I wonder what my home is really worth when someone has to pay taxes, flood and homeowners insurance on top of the house note. I don't know if I can sell this house anymore. This is really a problem.
I really don't feel like paying for parish employees retirement at 55 anymore. The old argument was they made less money. I don't believe this holds water anymore over a plain working stiff. I can tell you I wouldn't be looking to move to St. Tammany parish any longer if I was considering a move.
