    I know how they are supposed to work, sure.

    But here in KC people saw 100% to 150% increases, which was so ludicrous that the state tax commission stepped in and capped increases. We also just voted to recall our county executive who defended the assessments

    And our scenario is not unique. It’s happening everywhere in this country.

    Even though there is a legal process for tax assessment, that doesn’t mean it isn’t abused or corrupted. Also doesn’t make it okay for the county to levy unfair taxes to homeowners.
