I'd love to see a more local approach where say a couple hundred of my neighbors from the few blocks around me could vote to raise taxes for something specific, like repaving a street, or rehabbing a park. It's local money that you know stays local.
- nitrogen 10y agoIn some areas it might be possible to set up a local special tax district that does just that.
- r00fus 10y agoThese already exist where I live (CA), there are line items for things like city-wide storm sewer, improvements to local parks, levies for specific work. It's managed by the city, so I'm not sure if it hits the general fund, but it is a tax specifically for those things.
