Would need to see the numbers to make an educated decision. I’m assuming it’s very expensive, because it was never even considered

Taxes don’t pay for electric infrastructure, it’s your electric company that does. The correct question is do you support a rate increase.

We pay more than enough property taxes they don’t need to raise the tax to fix the infrastructure!

Understanding the underground electric power is not great. You have seen evidence from NYC. They had a huge blackout. Besides that it not electric company fault. Nothing is perfection beside G-d is.

I believe we need raise our assessment raises rather than taxes so this way the tax not be targeting the people who can least afford it, which would be regressive. Remember the Torah always makes us give maser and truma in order to help the poor.

Any increase in money will only go to pay raises and bonuses for management and not put into the upgrades….just look at the history
