Resident criticizes FY27 budget process, points to 32% property tax rise since 2023
Summary
Public commenter Ranjit Mazumdar praised early structure in the FY27 budget process but criticized selective data use, inconsistent supervisor attendance, and said real property taxes increased 32% since 2023; he urged better implementation of the strategic plan.
Ranjit Mazumdar used the public comment period to critique the county's FY27 budget process, commending the early, structured start but arguing that inconsistent supervisor attendance and selective presentation of data undermine accountability. He said the flat 3% raise proposal "does not distinguish between high and low performers" and noted that "real property taxes have increased 32% since 2023," urging the Board to do better on the 2025–2028 strategic plan.
There was no formal response recorded in the workshop minutes to Mazumdar's comments during the public comment period; his remarks were entered into the record for delegation and board consideration.
