Editorial: When I was knocking doors during the campaign, I met a man who told me he was greatly concerned with his home being a target for ever-increasing property taxes. He said that he and his wife were fortunate enough to pay off their home mortgage about two years ago. He said he always knew the amount of his property taxes, but didn’t think about it much because they were a part of his mortgage payment. However, now that he doesn’t have a monthly mortgage payment, he now has to put over $400 per month in savings so that he can pay his property taxes at the end of the year! They live in south Tulsa, the highest taxed property in our state. He said he and his wife are not old enough to qualify for the senior citizen protection of freezing their property taxes, but are greatly concerned with the potential of increased burden of higher and higher property taxes!
