High Taxes ? Poor Schools ? - responce to 'Jessica
-
10/9/2007
Not sure where Jessica gets her 'high taxes' information - but for the area - only neighboring Berkley's total taxes are lower (their city tax is actually higher) - Pleasant Ridge, Huntington Woods, Ferndale, Birmingham are all significantly higher - as is both Madison Hts., Hazel Park, Oak Park & Clawson. This info. is available via Oakland County website.
As for school performance and infrastructure improvements - Royal Oak is headed in the right direction as test scores and building improvements indicate. I wish people who complain would at least have their facts straight.
