Dear Davebarrry109,
I would agree with you if the PILOTs were anywhere NEAR what the non-profit would have paid in taxes.
They're not.
They're not even close.
They are embarrassingly too little to compensate the city for the municipal services received.
The result? Everyone else pays more than their fair share.
I agree that our hospitals and schools should pay somewhat less in taxes, but what the do pay is insulting, especially when you total the profits that these "non-profits" are really making. By statute the "company" can't make a profit, but it's amazing how much the people at the top receive. They just can't call it "profit".
I saw a poster once of a pretty girl leaning up against someone else's expensive car for a picture. The caption read "I don't want to be rich. I just want to live that way."
On the other hand I agree with you completely about the over-spending. Perhaps a combination of those two ideas is best.
Happy Thanksgiving davebarry109.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
