And about this subtlety, whether it is revenue-neutral at the municipal, state, or federal level. People were led to believe that no one would have to pay more.
From "the total revenue in the municipality remains the same, some pay more, some pay less." Or "if the municipality does not make it, then it even increases the assessment rate, so that everyone pays more."
That was never mentioned.
Of course, it was mentioned, at least the first part (“some pay more, others less”). In which tabloid was it suggested that no one has to pay more? I really haven't read that anywhere and I don't see it anywhere now in archived media articles either, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.
