In a recent government meeting, officials revealed that all eleven taxing districts in Johnson County are planning to raise taxes, a move that has raised concerns among residents. The meeting highlighted that each district, despite having different management, has collectively decided to exceed the revenue neutral rate, indicating a need for increased funding beyond last year's budget.

During the session, it was noted that five out of seven commissioners are expected to vote in favor of a resolution to raise taxes, with the vote anticipated to conclude the meeting. This coordinated approach among the districts has sparked speculation about the decision-making process, with some questioning whether there was prior communication among the districts regarding their tax strategies.

The law mandates that such meetings occur when tax increases are proposed, ensuring transparency in the decision-making process. As the districts prepare to implement these tax hikes, residents are urged to stay informed about the implications for their finances and the overall impact on the community.
