The Woodlands

• Tax Rate Jump

  why do we want to "hire nearly 200 additional full-time employees, as well as buy land for and construct its own municipal facilities", if we are fine without them?
  
  "Government IS the problem"

• Woodlands is going to hurt there residents

  This is an accurate study and if it happens there will be a lot of houses going up for sale if they can be sold. BTY Woodlands don't have an ISD all the schools in the woodlands are under CISD - wrong direction woodlands stop and think and stop creating panic making people think Houston wants to annex us

• A bit misleading...

  "...township residents can expect to see their property taxes increase by nearly 80 percent should The Woodlands incorporate in 2014." The 80% increase is reflective of just the Township taxing entity. At an average total tax rate of 2.5% (includes county, ISD, hospital, etc) the net effect of an increase in taxes is approximately 10% overall.

• Ridiculous

  I would strongly suggest as a resident of not holding an election. As a current resident that was looking to upgrade to a newer home in the woodlands, I am happy the contract fell through. I will take our search elsewhere. This is ridiculous.
