If made permanent, it could add nearly $600 annually to the average homeowner’s bill in the Christina School District, while slightly lowering the commercial rate cap. Critics, including Rep. Madinah Wilson-Anton, warn it unfairly burdens small businesses and could push owners out, raising prices for all. Meanwhile, Rep. Kim Williams’ other bill, which quietly passed the House with zero opposition, aims to update senior tax exemptions to match county income limits—bringing relief to aging residents starting in 2027. Both bills await Senate approval. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
