Surprise, AZ News blog

I have been busy trying to keep up on the issues in District 3 but found the information in SUNDAYS Daily News Sun with more than a passing interest.  Dysart Unified School District is notifying the property Owners and taxpayers in No.89 they are going to increase property taxes another $10,000,000.00  It will increase the primary property tax on a $100,000.00 home from $6.34 per 100,000 per year to $95.26 per year which will be exclusive of any other property tax increase Surprise will make.  I do not have a problem with money for the school districts, but it lacks any information as to where it is going, what it is going to be used for.  If it goes to the underpaid teachers and the children, that is one thing, to adminstration or for perks, is something entirely different.  The hearing is July 11, 2007 at the Dysart Educational Center, 15802 N. Parkview Place.  I think it is important we find out where our tax dollars are going.
