Downtown Portland is facing a historic downturn. As fire sales sweep through the city's commercial real estate market, property values are plummeting — and so are tax revenues. In this video, we break down why buildings like the iconic U.S. Bancorp Tower are selling at a fraction of their former value and what this means for Portland's budget, public services, and future.

We often hear it said that the rich should pay their fair share in taxes. Actually, they're paying more than their fair share already. It's the non-rich who are paying too little. I also make the case for trickle-down economics and why property taxes are a scam. Web: ThinkingtoBelieve.comEmail: ThinkingToBelieve@gmail.comFacebook: facebook.com/thinkingtobelieveTwitter & Gettr: @thinking2believTruth: @ThinkingToBelieveParler: @thinkingtobelieve

This week we're covering some recently enacted property tax law changes.

Mayor Palmer talks about Rio Tinto's recent Herriman Community Day and upcoming public hearings for property taxes. And we talk about construction project timelines and pedestrian bridges.

I spent a little time on this episode of Plain Talk bemoaning the horrendous performance of my beloved New York Yankees. Poor roster construction and poor fundamental play are difficult things to watch. Co-host Chad Oban ate it up, as you might imagine, but baseball isn't all we discussed. We touched on the baffling controversy over Sydney Sweeney's jeans commercial. For some reason, this has convulsed the nation, starting with left-wing critics who claim the ad promotes some master race message about eugenics, which of course inspired the MAGA crowd to rally around Sweeney as their new hero. It makes me wonder if comedian and actor Marc Maron is right when he says that progressives have "annoyed the average American into fascism." Shifting to North Dakota politics, we talked about Fargo leaders trying to pin their budget woes on property tax reform. I argued on the podcast, and in a previous column, that Mayor Tim Mahoney's budget is calculated to produce political talking points, not solutions, and Oban agreed, pointing out that Fargo's fiscal problems predate the 3% spending cap passed earlier this year. We addressed my controversial story about education lobbyist Aimee Copas and her alleged activities at a Mandan waterpark as detailed in a police report. I got flak from some who said that the story wasn't news. My argument? Copas, the executive director of the North Dakota Council of Educational Leaders, is one of the most consequential people in North Dakota when it comes to education policy. When a police report alleges that she and her husband were engaging in sexual activities in public, at a water park, the public deserves to know about it. Also on this episode, we cover the delays in Superintendent Kirsten Baesler's appointment to a position in the Trump administration, and whether or not her bid might be scuttled by opposition from the MAGA right. Plus, North Dakota's new porn verification law probably isn't stopping anyone from watching porn on the internet.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for July 25th Publish Date: July 25th Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Friday, July 25th and Happy Birthday to Walter Peyton I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb commission approves property tax rate, budget Riverside Parkway residents sound alarm over 'unsafe' living conditions West Cobb VA Clinic closed due to flooding Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on diabetes All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: Ingles Markets 6 STORY 1: Cobb commission approves property tax rate, budget Cobb County commissioners approved a $1.3 billion budget for the upcoming fiscal year along partisan lines, keeping the general fund millage rate flat at 8.46 mills. The budget includes a 3.8% increase over last year, staff raises of 2-5%, and four new positions funded by fire and water funds. While the fire fund millage rate was slightly reduced, rising property values will generate $13 million more in tax revenue. Public commenters raised concerns about transparency, spending, and the impact on renters. Chairwoman Lisa Cupid defended the budget, emphasizing sustainability and efficient use of resources. STORY 2: Riverside Parkway residents sound alarm over 'unsafe' living conditions Residents along Riverside Parkway in Mableton are demanding action to address unsafe and neglected conditions in apartment complexes like Five 7 Five, Residence at Riverside Row, and Silver Creek Crossings. Issues include pest infestations, overgrown grass, leaks, and broken windows, with many residents feeling ignored. The properties, now under receivership, are managed by Foresight Asset Management, but residents report little improvement. Mableton Mayor Michael Owens and local leaders are pushing for stricter ordinances and collaboration to ensure safe, affordable housing without displacing residents. Advocates stress the need for long-term solutions for essential workers living in the area. STORY 3: West Cobb VA Clinic closed due to flooding The West Cobb VA Clinic in Marietta is temporarily closed due to flooding reported on July 15. Repairs are underway, but the reopening date is unknown. The Atlanta VA Health Care System is converting appointments to virtual or rescheduling to minimize disruptions, with outreach efforts ongoing. Veterans can check updates by calling 404-545-9452 or the main VA line at 404-321-6111. For emergencies, veterans are advised to call 911 or visit the nearest ER.

Break: Ingles Markets 6 STORY 4: Kennesaw takes steps to regulate short-term rentals, address neighbor concerns Kennesaw City Council has approved an ordinance requiring short-term rental property owners to obtain licenses starting Oct. 1. The $250 license applies to single-family residential zones, with a cap of 150 licenses issued on a first-come, first-served basis. Owners must meet requirements like liability insurance, notifying neighbors, and designating a 24-hour contact. Violations can result in fines or license revocation. The ordinance aims to address noise, parking complaints, and neighborhood integrity while testing the program’s effectiveness during an initial trial period. Feedback will be reviewed in March 2026. STORY 5: OUT AND ABOUT: 5 things to do this weekend in Cobb County — July 25 - 27 This weekend in Cobb County offers a variety of events: The Strand Theatre wraps up *Jukebox Giants: Motown and More* with performances Friday through Sunday (tickets start at $40).

Missouri ordered retroactive limits on property assessment increases in Jackson County. But, according to county assessor Gail McCann Beatty, that order means "inequities will remain."

Episode 104: What If Property Taxes Disappeared? In this episode of Drunk Real Estate, the crew explores a wild but surprisingly logical idea: What if we eliminated property taxes on homes? Would it make housing more affordable—or bankrupt your local school district? The guys dig into the real-world economic impacts, how this would shift the incentives for homeowners and investors, and whether we could realistically replace that revenue in a way that works. Expect sharp takes, creative alternatives, and a no-holds-barred discussion on whether property taxes are a necessary evil or a broken system ripe for reform.  

Even as some local governments claim that a new, 3% cap on property tax increases will cause chaos in their budgets, Sen. Josh Boschee, a Democrat from Fargo, says he and his colleagues felt it was important to implement. He says lawmakers see it as a way of putting the responsiblity for property taxes back on local governments. "In the last decade, or my 12 years of service in the state legislature, we've tried to educate voters that property tax is a local issue," he said on this episode of Plain Talk. "Yet it continues to be put on our plate in Bismarck." He noted that with the state now providing significant relief, locals are expected to manage their budgets to prevent past issues of unchecked growth in valuations and spending. Boschee addressed property tax exemptions, including my recent column about a property tax break for newly-built single-family homes in Fargo that could go a long way toward addressing the city's shortfalls. He said the $1,600 tax credit lawmakers approved for primary residences gives local governments a good "off ramp" to end some of those exemptions, since the credit would cushion the blow for taxpayers. Switching topics, Boschee also addressed concerns that cuts in federal spending could hit North Dakota hard. He said the state's finances are in order to deal with some uncertainty. "We are in a good budget position," he said. "We worked and we're part of the ruling majority with the mainstream Republicans to make sure we had a good budget." "The governor has some leniency within about 5% of the budget to weather cuts at the agency level, or you know, some discretionary funds that we can see what can be moved around through the emergency commission. So we're in a a good position to be able to address them." If you want to participate in Plain Talk, just give us a call or text at 701-587-3141.

Hour 2 dives hard into Hunter Biden's ongoing saga, with Kevin O'Leary's blunt “beat him with a stick” comment capturing the public outrage over the Biden family's drug issues. The conversation shifts to the fight over parental rights in Saint Charles County's library system, where new book challenge policies still lean heavily toward protecting controversial content, underscoring the need for more conservative trustees. Property tax burdens and calls for reform from Florida's Ron DeSantis highlight the nationwide frustration with government overreach and relentless taxation even after mortgages are paid off. Market updates spotlight Boeing's union negotiations, the Missouri Supreme Court blocking new marijuana taxes, and a massive US-Japan trade deal signaling economic shifts. Finally, a sobering Morgan Stanley study predicts a sharp rise in single, childfree women by 2030, sounding alarms on America's demographic future and fueling conservative calls for family and freedom incentives.

Babe Ruth's called shot. JFK's moon shot. Reagan's demand to tear down the Berlin Wall. All remarkable calls that led to remarkable moments in American and world history. Blaise Ingoglia is no Babe Ruth. Ending property taxes in Florida isn't exactly a “moon shot”. However, on a relative level, the impact throughout the state of Florida might be the equivalent locally of tearing down the Berlin Wall.

Ohio is in the early stages of a major fight over property taxes. Thanks largely to rapidly rising home values, property taxes have jumped on average about 25–30% in recent years. Homeowners are mad, especially those on fixed incomes who have no plans to move and cash in on their home's equity.

Governor Josh Shapiro says he wants to be sure Pennsylvania plays a key role in developing artificial intelligence, as well as providing the energy needed to support it. Speaking at an energy and A-I summit in Pittsburgh this week, Shapiro said the state's skilled workforce and natural gas reserves helped attract a $20 billion dollar investment in new data centers recently pledged by Amazon. A number of large-scale data center projects were announced across the state including a $15 billion project planned for the Carlisle area, a $6 billion project in the Lancaster area and a $5 billion project planned for York County. A nonprofit group that helps unemployed people stay in their homes is calling for state property reassessment laws to be updated. The lawsuit could affect property owners across the state. Another attempt is being made to eliminate local property taxes in Pennsylvania: This latest effort, in the form of an amendment to the state Constitution, is co-sponsored by state Senator Doug Mastriano of Franklin County. It would prohibit school districts from collecting property taxes beginning July first, 2029 and require the General Assembly to come up with another funding method for public schools. Some state lawmakers are taking another shot at legalizing adult cannabis use in Pennsylvania. Senators Daniel Laughlin and Sharif Street, as well as Representatives Emily Kinkead and Abby Major introduced bipartisan recreational cannabis bills just four days apart. Both bills incentivize minority, women and veteran-owned small businesses to open dispensaries across the state. Pennsylvania is one of 49 states sharing in a 20 million dollar settlement with drug maker Gilead Sciences. It stems from a lawsuit which accused Gilead of illegally providing financial and other incentives to medical personnel in exchange for promoting and prescribing its HIV medications. Danville-based Geisinger is eliminating nearly 100 Geisinger Health Plan positions as part of an "operational restructuring" amid financial challenges that include a $231 million operating loss last year. Four independent voters in Pennsylvania are asking the state Supreme Court to rule that the closed primary system violates the state constitution. They filed a lawsuit arguing that keeping independents out of primaries effectively denies them the right to vote in many districts where primaries determine the outcome. The 260th York State Fair kicks off Friday. and runs through the following weekend until Sunday, July 27th.

These devices, costing up to $60,000 funded by grants, discreetly monitor air quality, alerting staff to harmful chemicals like nicotine. Superintendent Grant Rivera and his team aim to tackle vaping issues proactively. Additionally, the board will consider a $2.4M contract with Kelly Services for substitute staffing and appointing R.K.

STORY 3: Letter shows Cobb's threat to halt police services in Mableton Mableton officials agreed to pay Cobb County $9.5 million for police and transportation services after the county threatened to halt them by June 1. Mayor Michael Owens said the city was forced into the deal to ensure public safety, despite concerns of "double taxation" for residents already paying county taxes. The agreement funds services until May 2026, with Mableton exploring a special service district to cover costs. While Cobb County claimed it wouldn’t abandon residents, a May 30 letter revealed threats to cease services if no deal was reached. The city council initially rejected the plan but later approved it after mediation. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

The hike, expected to double property tax revenue to $3.85 million, aims to stabilize finances and address a $1.6 million budget shortfall. Mayor Ollie Clemons defended the decision as necessary for the city’s future, while critics, including Council member Meredith Adams, opposed the sharp increase, citing its impact on residents, especially those on fixed incomes. Many residents blamed city leadership for financial mismanagement, while Clemons attributed the issues to inflation and past inaction.

The authority, sourcing water from Lake Allatoona and the Chattahoochee River, is addressing emerging contaminants like PFAS, though current levels remain safe.
