Following is the only map we have been able to find that shows the average percentage increases in property valuations by area.  You can see that many areas of Milton, particularly in the North, were hit hard.  One good citizen gave us data for homes in the Birmingham Road and Dinsmore area.  Appraisals for this sampling of around 50 homes showed an average increase of 56%.  Valuations of 4 parcels of undeveloped land increased a whopping 178%.  The huge tax hike was discussed a bit at Monday’s City Council meeting.  However, not a peep was heard from our North Milton representatives, Matt Kunz and Bill Lusk.  Both are keeping up their fine tradition of non- and mis-representation of District 2 constituents . . . hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.
