I think that this indicates a trend, but not necessarily that of increasing value, rather it indicates a push to find addition revenue to pay off a growing debt. I think that we can expect to see many new "taxes," such as the runoff tax, in the coming years (until the city finally needs to declare bankruptcy). I'd really like to see the growth curves for the city's revenue and dept. Does anyone know where to find them? Michael Atherton Prospect Park REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
