Trust me, local governments will do whatever they can to maintain their size and their tax revenues.
Nashville’s mayor, in the wake of a few weeks of lost sales tax on the front end of the tourism season here, has announced the city will be raising property taxes by at least 20%. Great news for a city who’s population is becoming more unemployed by the day.
This is after 10 years of growth in tourism-related and hotel-tax dollars that would be the envy of any other city of comparable size, and our poor ol’ mayor says aw shucks, we don’t have a rainy day fund.
