They are set using a state-wide formula based solely on the value of the property, not the services received. The bulk of property taxes go to education and the county with the City of San DiegoThis amendment takes the People’s Ordinance back to its original premise that everyone pays for residential trash collection. You have published a lot of negative letters about Measure B, please publish a positive letter about the vote outcome.
