Community Solutions Podcast- Do Levy Limits Work?

In this episode, Jason and Andrew discuss the idea of placing levy limits over local governments. It sounds like a good concept, right? Set the maximum for property tax increases and spending is held in check… unless it’s not. Do levy limits work, or do they cause local governments to get creative in new types of taxes and fees, raise other existing taxes and fees, or a combination of both? We’ve had them before. What happened? Is there a better way to cap tax increases? I hope that this conversation helps you to think about levy limits in all of its pros and cons to make an educated decision on where you stand.
