Just looking at the tax increases and while nothing like other cities I do have to question what services are we getting?? Wake county is not exactly on the ball with schools, road construction, or public transportation. It's time for the local leaders who sold this show to put on the act and let's get rolling.
I actually think my taxes went up because not only am I paying new hanover taxes, but I am paying wilmington city taxes. it's really the city I have the problem with. I actually am interviewing for a job with wake county this week. hopefully I can continue the good services if I get the job!
Roads are very good, fantastic parks everywhere, great community events all the time, town common areas maintained perfectly, great local communication to name a few.
For the taxes paid here in Wake County, the services are pretty good. Not saying we have the best services in the nation, but for the taxes we pay the services are average to above average.
I read an article once about the cost of building a new school in Wake County. It was ridiculously high, higher than I ever imagined a school building could cost!
