The county is still a lot more local than a bank that might have an HQ across the country and is barely accountable even there. Also, most people's property taxes do go to their town or city, so your sample-of-one is not really a basis for a policy statement.
- karaterobot 4y agoI was responding to the article's incorrect statement that the money stayed in your neighborhood, which is not correct in my case. I say "my case", but it's the case for everyone who lives in my county, the 12th most populous in the nation. Probably true for others as well. https://kingcounty.gov/council/budget/budget_basics.aspx https://kingcounty.gov/council/budget/budget_basics.aspx
