Thanks to the new handy dandy web portal on the new and improved City of Franklin website, you now can see how your taxes compare to your Alderman and Mayor. The results are very interesting, especially as you view the three alderman that are on the Finance Committee’s taxes numbers.
Alderman Stevie Taylor and Mayor Tom Taylor say you have no reason to complain about your taxes and should shout from the rooftops how happy you are about them.
| District | Name | 2009 | 2010 | Difference |
| Mayor | Tom Taylor | $5,307.53 | $5,426.46 | $118.93 |
| 1st | Steve Olson | $8,626.96 | $9,029.28 | $402.32 |
| 2nd | Tim Solomon | $5,316.89 | $5,170.74 | ($146.15) |
| 3rd | Kristen Wilhelm | $2,984.39 | $2,756.46 | ($227.93) |
| 4th | Steve Taylor | $5,363.78 | $5,040.19 | ($323.59) |
| 5th | Doug Schmidt | $4,278.39 | $4,344.38 | $65.99 |
| 6th | Ken Skowronski | $5,302.47 | $5,224.18 | ($78.29) |
- Compare your tax bill to theirs and see why they voted an increase.
- Remember that taxes have gone up every year since Stevie Taylor has been in office (two of those years he has been on the Finance Committee because Mayor Taylor wanted him there).
- Remember Stevie pushed to have the Mayor’s office become full time so he could make it his full time job costing taxpayers more money. Voters rejected him and his referendum soundly!
- Just remember one thing said by 4th District Stevie Taylor when talking about Franklin Taxpaying residents who feel he has done a poor job on holding the line on spending:
“IF YOU DON’T LIKE FRANKLIN then GET THE HELL OUT”
4th District residents, please remember what Stevie Taylor said when you go to vote in April.
Of course he also says your won’t bother voting either!
Remember Stevie boy, you only won by six votes. As the song goes “WE WON’T BE FOOLED AGAIN”
