Ooops..More SV taxes

Since I posted my last comment about taxes in Sierra Vista, I see the SV town council is going to raise taxes again. Last tax increase was 3 years ago. I re-calculated the savings on my next new car purchase. Looks like I will save about $600 - give or take a few dollars, by making the car purchase in Benson. And by the way, does the SV town council really believe that landlords will absorb the new "rental tax"? Certainly the tax will be passed on to renters....low income tenants included. So much for "affordable housing" in Sierra Vista. When the new "rental tax" is added to the already high rental rates, Benson looks like a more viable housing alternative than living in SV. Especially when one considers that the new mall will be only 20 minutes up the road and the airport is 30 minutes away.
