The residents of Highland have reason to be concerned if their property taxes have increased. If Highland becomes like East Millcreek, it may only get worse.
We moved into our home in East Millcreek in 1947, and our property taxes for the year were $35. Taxes have continually increased ever since, even though my home gets older. My property taxes now are in the thousands of dollars.
For 2011, my property taxes increased by $200. Now I received notice that for 2012 they have increased by another $200. When will it stop?
I hope that will be before I have to sell my home, as I won't be able to afford the taxes. Good luck to those living and paying property taxes in Highland.

To "one old man" what services have changed since 1947? Didn't they have city government, water, sewer, garbage, police, and fire departments then?
Why should we accept taxes increasing faster than inflation?
Will you give us a list of all the services you are willing to give up?
Yeah one old man, I would give up on excessive police. I would also like an audit done on the school district. They have plenty of money, where did it go?
