That should be controlled locally,” he said. “If we don’t include that in our legislation and we freeze property taxes for two years … as soon as the two years is up, they’re going to pop up and frankly accelerate in a lot of communities beyond what they otherwise would have. The real fix is to get local control of costs.”
