Feeling wealthy. I made more money yesterday, in one day than any previous full year. In fact, more than the previous few years combined. How you ask? I simply read my City of Milwaukee tax assessment letters.
Oh, wait… What are you saying? That means I’ll have less money come December?
They should hold the city government elections two weeks after assessments, not two weeks prior!
Kidding aside, this is a real PR blunder on the part of the city with so many folks fearing that they’ll lose their homes and properties due to the economic impact of the COVID shutdown.
(Note: An increase in assessments does not actually mean an increase in tax payments. Nor does it mean the value of the property actually went up)
