If they don't raise the rate they raise the property values or they do both. Just went through an informal meeting with them. You know how to beat them, hire the same lawyers that Wal-Mart, Target and all the other big corporations use. The big guys fight this every year and I bet they win. The big guys also routinely get tax breaks that you and I don't get, loans that are forgiven over so many years, free money for expansions, etc. I was in business before retirement and never got any breaks even though I employed 9 people. Just depends on how big you are and who you know.
Many of the big companies that were in my area and got all of these wonderful breaks (which of course raised our rates) have moved to the land of gold, Mexico.
