Seriously? Baltimore County raised income taxes and added a cell phone tax. (Dundalk: condo, crime)

I have had it up to here (neck!) with Baltimore County. I am sorry, but this is just plain dumb. How many of you want to move out of the county now? (And where would you move?) I already am repulsed by the stupidity of the City politicians, but it appears it's contagious...

Less than .5 %

Ya know, elves come out and do all the things that get done that get taken for granted, and and don't get me started on what Smurfs do with your tax dollars.........

Another troll with three user ID's already and no life to go along with them.

The county needs "Chief Diversity Manager" and a "Sustainability Manager" like Buick needs a fifth hole. The Diversity Manager will no doubt be a black woman from the city.

More dogma.

Every system of government on every level, city, state, federal has a ton of unnecessary PATRONAGE jobs. It is part of the power structure. Baltimore is no different. I am not condoning it, but that is reality, and they are ever expanding. They need new ways to pay for them.

And you have a link to this? Proof? Tons?

Again, roads, bridges, underground infrastructure, schools, first responder's......No never mind, smurfs.

And pilots...

To answer OP. The income tax increase will definitely affect residents. However, the cell phone tax is a bit much. More importantly. we would like to see what these taxes are going to improve. Hopefully, something will be done about the increasing crime. We'll see.

Recidivism is a big problem with crime. Until the judges start keeping thugs off the street, not a lot will change.

Increasing crime where? Essex? Lansdowne? I hope so as well.

Still, INFRASTRUCTURE, SCHOOLS, TEACHERS, FIRST RESPONDER'S.......

With personal knowledge Arbutus, Landsdowne, Catonsville, Towson. But, friends in Dundalk and Parkville say the same. Of course, we do believe this is spreading from the city as well.
