Recently, Clark County Councilor David Madore proposed an amendment to the county charter that would limit the annual increase in property taxes. While I am not in favor of increasing taxes, I am also not in favor of tying the hands of future legislators with this amendment.
Councilor Madore’s actions are in direct violation of Section 10.9 of the charter, which states: “The county council may not propose amendments to this charter until all five (5) council members are seated.” I wish he would stop wasting our time and follow the will of the people.
