Taxes in this area are getting ridiculous, how are your average working middle class people going to survive?? Paychecks are not getting any bigger, and for Springfield we don't get anything back. They work on the roads all the time, and now they are building all these Care places in the area, if these type of businesses are moving in, why are the taxes so high? We live off Baltimore Pike and our taxes are almost $9000.00!!! They are fighting to have billboards too, and this whole area is getting like the slums! It's all about money, and I think the politicians need to clean up all this mess, and go back to making this place more residential than commercial! Lower the taxes for us if you need to continue all the building of businesses. People cannot afford the taxes here, it's getting to a point where we plan to move out of this area, and go to some place where taxes are reasonable!
